I was just online researching these last night...this video was right on time

I love your videos man
Thanks to you I bought my first gimbal

[seyedsahil]

Does the standard iPhone or Pro Camera Moment app work well with Gimbal? Say I am pressing the shutter button to get a steady shot in the Gimbal, will it trigger a click in the former mentioned apps?

How do you know if your gimbal is compatible with 3rd party apps? Such as Filmic Pro? I'm thinking of getting the Moza Mx/Mx2 but not sure if it accepts Filmic Pro.

How does video quality on the Stacam app compare to apps like FilmicPro?

Very informative video, looking for gimbal (Mi 10T Pro), one of the most interesting for me is DJI Osmo 4, but don't want to hurry up and check another gimbals, just to make the right choice. Thank you for the video:)

Thanks for the Video. Really helpful. Maybe you could help me. I have a DJI Osmo 6 and want to use stock Samsung app, but the shutter button doesn't work. How do I get it to work?

[lesterdude]

so uhhh which one should i get? i have a heavier phone iphone13 pro max

[dm_gsw]

Idk if u still check the comments, but I was wondering do u need the apps for the gimbals to use the physical buttons on the gimbals itself? Just I don’t want to deal with the location sharing that comes with the apps

[Araccoonyt]

Not sure if you still check comments but do you need the app for the stability feature of the gimbal? I want to use a gimbal but I want to still be able to use my regular phone camera app.
