Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First of all DJI is forcing you to install and use a 420mb app on your phone before you can use the product. You have to go through pages and pages of policies and they still use you info. The app doesn't even let you open it unless you let it use your phone location. This is the type of product that you own but not really since they could lock you out of the device for whatever reason (it's in the 50 page policy). You need a phone with usb-c connetion also, or apple connection to use the product. I don't want any compromised apps based in China forced on me to use this camera. I bought the gimbal to use as standalone, otherwise I would've used the camera on my phone which has a lot more features. Now to the real flaws of the gimbal camera, as it is lacking in many crucial areas. -It has what is known as exposure stepping where the color and brightness of the image abruptly changes as you move the camera around, as in light and shadow areas, it is not smooth. This results in amateurish footage, especially at dusk, or trick lighting situations. -The 4k footage and the digital zoom get grainy in any situation where you don't have full bright sun out. -Auto focus often hunts, once again amateurish footage. -If you point the camera in the bright blue sky to film birds or etc, there are slim white halos in the image. -Active tracking mode is below average and misses more than it hits. -Slow motion footage is cropped. -The gimbal often gets lost if you move it sideways and down and you have to reset it. -You have to snap another bottom plastic piece to get a tripod mount, then the usb connection is blocked. -No external mic input where the lower priced competition has it. They want you to spend more for the creator package. -Battery life also trails some of the lower priced competition. Overall, very disappointing, and lacking in key areas that are crucial to getting quality video footage.
