V2 Hydraulic Leveling Mount for Action Camera, GoPro, DJI, Insta360 – Pocket-Sized Leveler, Gimbal, JIB – No Batteries, No Charging, Waterproof

Almost Perfect
The good:Solves a major annoyance when using cameras on a “selfie” stick.Requires NO batteries.Very smooth operation*Easy to useAdjustable angle and rotation rate**Well designedOne star removed because:Not as waterproof as advertised – literally one splash of salt water and the gimbal was never the same.*Had hang-up points following the water intrusion event.**Adjusting rate requires purchase of a small, user-replaceable regulator component.In fairness, I have not yet tried to resolve the gimbal damage with GravGrip, I expect they will take care of things however. I just haven’t had the time to start that communication. I bought this to use on an epic trip, and it lasted the entire time, although was more finicky after the splash. (I gave it a fresh water rinse and had to give it about a day to dry out). But, it did its job throughout the trip, and was a good value even if that is the only use I get from it.If it comes down to it, I’ll buy another and just make sure it never gets splashed.

I don’t think the understand the meaning of “Hydraulic”
Literally no hydraulics on this. Otherwise works as advertised, though could perform a bit better. Not quite as smooth as they say it is. Video shows one setting but I tried multiple and this is about as smooth as I could get it. Also only swings on one axis. (Not that they say it doesn’t, so that’s okay)Not bad to add to my collection of gear now that I have it, but not worth the price. Feels kinda cheaply made too. If it were half the current price then it’d be worth it. Not unsatisfied, but not completely satisfied either.

Disappointing Hydraulic Camera Grip – Stability Issues and Design Flaws
I recently purchased this hydraulic camera grip, expecting it to enhance my filming experience, but it has been nothing short of a disappointment.From the very first use, I encountered several critical issues that render this product almost useless for serious videography.First, as you can see from the photos, if you have the media mod attached to the camera, the side of the mod touches the side of the grip. This contact disrupts the entire stabilization mechanism, making it necessary to manually rotate the camera out of contact, which defeats the purpose of having a stabilization device in the first place. The very function of a gimbal is to provide smooth, stable footage without manual intervention, and this grip fails miserably in that regard.Moreover, when you attempt to rotate the grip 360° for dynamic shots, you will notice an unacceptable design flaw. The monopod, along with all the connected screws, becomes visible in the shot. This visibility is a glaring oversight and severely limits the angles and creativity you can achieve with this grip. Instead of capturing seamless footage, you’re constantly reminded of the grip’s presence, which is both distracting and unprofessional.Additionally, the grip’s poor design has the potential to cause damage to your equipment.The constant contact between the grip and the media mod could result in scratches on the mod’s casing over time. This is concerning, as it not only affects the aesthetic appeal of your gear but could potentially reduce its resale value.Lastly, the stability of this grip deteriorates rapidly with use. After moving the camera multiple times, the balance is thrown off after just five rotations. This instability is frustrating, especially during longer shoots where you need consistent performance. The entire contraption becomes useless, requiring frequent adjustments and recalibrations that interrupt the flow of filming.Overall, this hydraulic camera grip fails to deliver on its promises of stability and seamless operation. The design flaws, performance issues, and potential for damage to your equipment make it a poor choice for anyone looking for a reliable gimbal for their camera.I would not recommend this product to anyone serious about their videography. Save your money and invest in a more dependable option.

If you enjoy making videos, this attachment will make your videos look like in Hollywood!

I stuck the Gravgrip onto an extendable pole – about 2m long. Works really well – gave an excellent mini-drone effect.I have a couple of gripes though. Firstly, it’s not so great if you want to do a selfie with it. The close proximity with pole and the wide angle of my GoPro meant that the pole gets into the video as well. I have to ensure that the pole is almost vertical before the video is not getting the pole into the video. Secondly, I wish there was a clamp somewhere that would allow me to stop the Gravgrip from working temporarily so that it is fixed in position for some shots that I want to point in a certain direction apart from horizontally level.

Took along time to get here,but I’m happy with my purchase
