Wondalu S40 15.8'/40CM Handheld Steadycam Camera Stabilizer for DSLR Steadicam Canon Nikon GoPro AEE Video with Quick Release Plate

We ordered the Wondalu brand S40 stabilizer as "Used - Like New". It arrived inside a sealed clear plastic bag shipped in a cardboard box. All parts were there and looked new. Nothing else was included.This passive camera stabilizer works fine and depends on proven designs by inventor Garrett Brown, whose award-winning Steadicam patents have expired. At this price range, do not expect a spring support arm or vest. It will take practice to get your arm to minimize up/down motion. You will get a workout.The main items I look for are gimbal freedom-of-movement, smooth machined surfaces, properly cut threads, and finish. All were very good in the Wondalu.This particular stabilizer is sold under numerous brands, with prices ranging from the low 20's USD to several hundred USD. From the photographs and descriptions, I see no difference in them. All have the peculiar abnormality of having the bubble levels in the wrong orientation. I figure that is because the Chinese manufacturer got a good price on the part. In practice, bubble levels are not needed for setting up the stabilizer; just patience to center the moment of inertia..In summary, search across brands to fing the cheapest one. You may recognize it by the side-mounted bubble level. I got my best price from the "like-new" Wondalu. And do not expect much in the way of instructions. Just search the web for "S40 stabilizer setup" and you will find about a hundred different videos showing you how. Now is your opportunity to make a version of the movie "Rocky" workout scenes. Have fun.

Pero llego a tiempo

I do a lot of Real Estate Photography and this little item has maded my life easier while filming with my camera.The stability, control and balance is something I love about this bracket.

Love it

This stedicam is cool for smaller cameras, make sure you have an additional base plate if you have never used a stedi cam before.

I can’t for the life of me fine tune it. I’m about to just get my money back and buy a motorized one. This is to much of a pain.

Overall I'm satisfied with my purchase. I think the size could be bigger but it serves my purpose so I'm not gonna complaint about it.This is a good quality product with a reasonable price.

Muy pesado … difícil de armar … casi imposible nivelar … tuve que devolverlo
