I just bought one of these for mountain biking, it works well and feels quite comfortable for a square battery and arm sticking out of your chest. It's also surprisingly light, I used to mount my GoPro to a standard strap-on chestmount (which at first felt akward and heavy to me but I eventually got used to it). Now switching to the chest mount with a gimbal, it doesn't feel much different then the chestmount and GoPro on it's own. If you get one of these don't cheap out on the chest mount you buy to attach it, also, try not to put too many extensions on the mount as the further away the gimbal is from your chest, the more it will bounce and the tighter the straps will need to be (same goes for a helmet mount).

Just got this one delivered from China, realized it didn't come with the universal tripod quarter inch screws preventing me from mounting it on my bike. Screws arrived today by mail (phew) and tonight I'm gonna try it out with my completely undampened and furiously rigid Ibis Silk road racer bike. Biking slower for steadier shots was never an option anyway. If this little thing enables me to record smooth shots despite my legs screaming with lactic acid and my lungs sounding like a steam train, then that automatically qualifies for top grade in my book :-) (I've been accused of filming from an electric bike by people judging through my youtube clips, so I dare say Im pretty fast, hahaha ) Regards.

Thanks for the review, sounds like this thing is performing quite equal to the karma grip from your review. Do you know if the micro usb port on the Session is available while mounted? It looks like taking the door of the camera and mounting the Session upside down should allow for connecting an external mic. Do you think there is enough room, or will the gimbal block too much?
@xImThaBoss
7 жыл бұрын
Even if you are able to do that, the cable will restrict the movement of the gimbal and if anything snags on the cable it will pull the gimbal out of alignment. Using a stand-alone recorder (like something from the Zoom H product line) with and external mic connected to that will be your best bet.

Good point. When in the case, the action camera might not fit the gimbal. I have the original non-water proof WG, which when using an adapter, accommodates the Garmin Virb Ultra 30, but neither is water proof. I can use the Garmin in the water proof case on my Zhiyun Smooth Q gimbal, but then the gimbal remains susceptible to water. If I have to ride my mountain bike and I have to film it, I use the Garmin on my helmet in the case without a gimbal, using the image stabilization of the camera as well as the dampening effect of my head, to give me smooth(er) footage when cycling in wet weather. FYI, the original WG is still being sold, at about $100 less than the WG2.

@AirPhotography
7 жыл бұрын
+MrFDUQUE That is a really tough decision. When it comes to ease-of-use, final video stabilization quality and overall experience I would have to go with the Karma Grip. But it’s not really fair to do a direct to Comparison because they are quite different and used for different purposes. For example this is more geared towards wearable and mountable with a small footprint. And the fact that it’s waterproof where is the karma is not… Makes this more valuable to those who want to use it in and around the water. I use them both for different scenarios but I would have to say I tend to reach for the karma more often. One thing that i like is the fact that I can change the angle of the camera with a Feiyu tech Via my app when mounted to my car. I hope that helps in someway I know it’s pretty vague
