Dropped $45 on a cheap gimbal from a guy in Phoenix and it fixed my shaky hands
My hands shake when I hold my phone for video, so I got this little gimbal off a guy in Phoenix for $45. First time using it at my niece's soccer game, my clips went from wobbly mess to smooth, but I forgot to balance it right and it buzzed the whole time. I finally figured out it needs to sit still for a second before you start filming. Has anyone else had trouble with that little warm-up thing?

$45 from a guy in Phoenix sounds like a gamble that happened to pay off. The warm-up thing you're describing is real, but I wouldn't call it trouble, it's just how these cheap gimbals work. They need a second to settle so the motors can figure out where level is, and if you skip it you get that buzzing and drifting. Honestly a steady hand and a $10 phone case with a grip would've done most of the same job for your niece's game. Not saying your gimbal is junk, but one smooth clip doesn't prove much yet. Use it for a month and see if it still holds up before you trust it.
