A bit heavy for some, but overall great stabilizer for the more experinced user.
It's a great stabilizer with smooth movements and the feel of it is very robust.. I would totally recommend this stabilizer if you're open to spend a little extra on a chest & arm kit like myself. I bought this product knowing it would be heavy, which is a good thing as long as you have something to support the weight. (Or if you got a smaller kamera with much less extra weight) This would also work great if you're someone who works with kameras within a shorter than normal timeframe. (Someone who does product reviews for example) where you're looking for great performance but dont really care about longer use. I would not recommend this to someone new to videography who has a limited budget of around £200, trust me. There's much more you should be looking at first. Overall I think it's worth the money spent, if you know beforehand what you're getting yourself in to. If you're looking to spend just a tiny bit more after the stabilizer, I would recommend the Flycam wrist support, which takes a lot of the pressure of your wrist and transfers it to the elbow area.Pros:+ Feels premium+ Smooth+ Nice improved handle (now it's secured in place instead of being lose) which shows Flycam listens to the buyers feedback.+ Nice little case (even though I don't use it myself)+ Looks great (very eye catching in a good way)+ Lots of extra weights+ Easy to attach a monitor or other accessories on bottom plate+ Manfrotto styled quick releaseCons:- Heavy- a bit stiff (can be a good thing depending on your style)- 2 screws holding down the head (could also be a good and bad thing depending on style of transport you prefer)- No extra space for other items in the case

Difficult to set up. Months later I still can't get it right.
I've tried all sorts but I can't get either my Sony a7ii nor my a6300 to balance perfectly on this so I end up with a slight ships deck movement in it. I've tried all sorts of tutorials on YouTube from professionals who use these all the time. It's well made but it can be made from gold and if it can't stabilise properly it's only going to be good for weigh in. I'll have another go when I've got lots of time to experiment more with it but I tried several times over a few months with the same result. I know these gimbals take more practice so we'll see, but in hindsight I'd have been better hiring a Ronin S. I can't recommend this product at the moment and I do wonder if it's my inexperience with mechanical gimbals that's at fault. So three stars for now. I wouldn't pay the £205 I paid for it. More like half that at the most.

Well build stabilizer cheaper and similar to Devin Graham Signature Series
I use Flycam HD2000 a year ago and its a bit shaky, but Flycam Redking is much better and I saw the improvements from the first time. Great copy of Devin Graham Signature Series, well build and stable Flycamredking its good to handle a heavy equipment with a good practise.

Good quality at a good price
This a great value. It’s a very sturdy product and they’ve fixed an issue on earlier models where the foam handle sleeve wasn’t glued on.

Only for strong men
Too heavy to handle, 2,5 kilo’s without camera. Good construction.
