The site's first sun original innovators for the sense of high-end picture, GoPro Karma Grip three-axis video stabilizer out of the box

13 years began to pay attention to Zhang Aunt, learned Aunt Zhang from Aunt Zhang here, but also started with Aunt Zhang’s push for a lot of good and inexpensive baby, but I’m really too lazy, I’ve been asking for nothing, I’ve never sent it. Originally, today this is the first time to go to the GoPro's own stabilizer, Karma Grip.

In fact, I am not a photography enthusiast, at best, just follow the trend, when the 5D3 just listed to follow suit into the one, by the way a few red circles, also bought a bunch of photography materials to learn, can go out with Two times it was too heavy and too tired and it has been lost to the present at home. What to do after traveling is to shoot with a mobile phone. The main purpose is to make a circle of friends.

I never wanted to buy GoPro until now. Although it is a very hot toy now, I can often see people use it when I go out to play. However, it was a coincidence that I received the push of Aunt Zhang Aunt on the 11th day this year. GoPro Hero + special 799, also sent original chest straps and shoulder straps,

Originally I was not in the country at the time, but in the spirit of being cheap or losing, I started decisively and started to play GoPro on my own for the first time after returning home on the 18th. But after playing it, I was really shuddering about moving video. I can't accept it. So I started using Google Dafa to find a solution. After I searched, I realized that there were hand-held stabilizers like Steinicon-like devices in the world that could reduce the jitter of GoPro's video shooting and looked at it with a stabilizer. The video sample itself feels quite satisfactory, so decided to start, but this time found that their own Hero + because it is entry products, the body can not be removed with a waterproof shell, more than the installation size, the current market sales of the stabilizer Feiyu Zhiyun Can not be installed like this, holding a try to ask Taobao's customer service is also got the same answer, got this answer makes me very depressed, it seems that cheap can not be greedy, but since I have bought no The truth? So in the spirit of people's difficult to tear down plans to replace this starting GoPro Hero 5 Black, so that you can always use the stabilizer.

I should also be just a little bit, just had this plan not to spend a few days suddenly suddenly one morning morning stroll to Jingdong accidentally discovered Hreo5 Black suddenly special price, 2358 also sent Zhang Sandi's 32G TF card, card also 79 it, the lowest direct history, are What kind of bicycle this price needs, must start with a decisive order.

After entering the Hero 5, the dog started preparing for the stabilizer. There are several brands of stabilizers on the market: Zhiyun, Feiyu, Dajiang, and GoPro Karma Grip.

Passing off the Osmo Mobile of DJI first, because he was designed to use it on a mobile phone. The third-party fixture can be used to install the dog. However, because the dog's viewing angle is much wider than the mobile phone, it causes the dog to be mounted on the Osmo film even if it is clipped. The vertical axis of Osmo will be photographed, so that the advantage of GoPro's ultra-wide-angle is gone, and the App can only be used by mobile phones.

Secondly, Pass is GoPro Karma Grip. The most important reason is that it cannot be purchased at all. Although it was already on the market in December, YouTube also has a lot of video out of the box to evaluate, but whether it is the official website or Best Buy, Meiya and the like. All of them are not stocked, and there is no panacea at all. I was originally an impatient child, and I would like to choose the right order to use directly. I simply do not want to wait for something I do not know when I can buy it, so I can only give up. .

Then, in Chi Yun and Fei Yu, I saw a half-day review and finally started the Zhiyun Z1 Evolution. I don’t know whether it’s because of my good character or something else. The day Evolution received the goods went wrong. At the beginning of my trial, I discovered that it would suddenly fail from time to time for unknown reasons. The above machines were also pulled down. At the beginning, the frequency was not high. I did not think this was even a sign of concern, but it didn’t take long for the problem to begin to increase. The more powerful, the last one simply turned on the head and pulled it straight. No matter if I reset or re-calibrate it, it would have no effect. In desperation I can only return the product. The two brands of stabilizers are definitely not. I will buy it again, but there are no other stable stabilizers on the market. This makes me tangled. Finally, I decide to wait for GoPro's own stabilizer, Karma Grip. After all, it is my own stuff. The tripartite point is not. (Although that Karma drone is not reliable)

After that, I started to pay close attention to GoPro's official website and Best Buy, because the unboxing video on YouTube is basically a machine bought from Best Buy, although the first machines were out of stock.

Hard work pays off. On December 21st, I opened the official website and Best Buy as usual. Suddenly I discovered that Best Buy's Karma Grip was never booked, but the arrival date was January 27, and I looked cool and hug. Trying to see the idea I opened Meiya, I actually did not hold any hope (because Meia had been out of stock before), but I suddenly discovered that Meiya suddenly became a scheduled state, and the arrival date actually was December On the 29th, at the time, we were sorrowful and weeping. What else can we say?

A look at Expedited Shipping costs only a dozen dollars more than Standard Shipping, but it's actually a few days faster than Priority Shipping. It's a good deal. So Expedited Shipping was chosen. The next step is to wait for delivery. Meyer really does pay attention and the 27th is ahead of schedule. Delivery, logistics is DHL, originally said on the 3rd can be sent, but there was a delay in the customs, but finally finally received today.

Let's take a look at the simple parameters of this product:

As shown in the figure, the official website has so far been such a non-selling state, and it is unknown why the goods are so small.

Briefly introduce Karma Grip, the product itself is sold together with GoPro's Karma drone. The upper stabilizer and dog can be mounted on the drone to provide stability for drone shooting, and can also be removed In combination with the latter half of the battery joystick, the accidental power failure recall of the Karma drone caused GoPro to sell the product alone, but it was a good thing for me because it was in the capital. All of them are no-fly zones, they have no drones and they can't buy a drone for this stabilizer, so it's best to sell them separately.

The box is very heavy

Packaging

Packaging with a one-time seal, through this can also see if the machine is new.

The workmanship of the storage bag is very good

The carrying case also has a one-time seal

Finally see the body

A full set of accessories including body, metal adapter, USB-C charging cable, Velcro straps

Karma Grip's four control buttons: the above control camera switch and camera; the left one is the GoPro's shooting mode switch and switch (switches control both the GoPro and Karma Grip); the right one is the Hilight button; the next one is pressed to control the tilt lock , home, display battery power.

The following is a dog 5 fixture that can charge and transmit video. Of course, this stabilizer is also compatible with dogs 4 and 5 sessions, but it is necessary to purchase a separate fixture for replacement. In addition, the work of the stabilizer is very good. It is indeed the style of the big factory.

If the dog 5 is to be loaded, the lid of the charging port must be removed first.

It is so loaded

This switch also controls the GoPro, which is turned on and off. In addition, the GoPro will be automatically charged when it is switched on. This is really convenient.

The biggest highlight of Karma Grip is that it can not only be used as a whole, but also can be used separately through the connecting line. The official release of the cable was released at the beginning of the year and there are many new ways to play with the cable.

The upper and lower parts are locked here and they can be separated by screwing them to the unlock position.

The following figure shows the installation of the GoPro universal adapter ring, which uses the GoPro standard interface and can be connected to any accessory that uses the GoPro interface.

The connecting ring is all-metal, strong and can be rotated in any direction

The connection ring can be used like this

Can also be used, of course, can also be installed on the chest strap or other places

The upcoming cable, with which Karma Grip can be installed in more places, for example:

Because I only got it today, I haven't had time to go out and use it. I just tried it at home and I didn't pass it on. The general feeling of shooting stability is very good, shoot out the sense of high-quality video improved a lot, workmanship and materials are very good, ergonomic grip design is also good, in this piece of domestic brands still have a certain gap; because It is its own product, so the support for the dog is very good. You can directly control the GoPro with the keys on the grip, saving a lot of things, at least not with the remote control and the mobile phone.

Did not receive physical material before the time to see the parameters have been very worried about the life of the goods, after all, the official announcement time is 1 hour and 45 minutes, afraid to go out enough, and see the customer after buying Best Buy evaluation said that the charge time of the goods is very Long, it takes five or six hours. If you use GoPro's own Super Charger, the charging time can be shortened to more than one hour. At that time, you were already ready to buy an official charger after receiving the goods. The concerns were gone.

1, this product support while shooting while charging, you can connect to charge treasure, so you do not have to worry about outside electricity is not enough, there are pictures and the truth

The following is attached to the charging treasure

2. I just used the Anker multi-port charger's IQ interface to charge him when I had just one cell left.

The result will be less than two hours full, so don't worry about this product without the official fast charge and the problem of slow charging, and save money, haha

3, a good solution to some domestic stabilizer shaft is too close to the machine often bump problem, anyway, I bought that Zhiyun's Evolution turned off, then GoPro will Dujiang's snapped onto the stabilizer shaft, although the solution is in the shaft The adhesive tape was affixed, but for a long time it will surely deflate the paint. Under the eyes, Duang Duang will feel distressed. However, Karma Grip will not have this problem, as shown below:

This is the state after the shutdown. The dog's limited position is a certain distance from the axis of the stabilizer. From then on, the mother never has to worry about the machine I see every day.

advantage:

1, the official product, in the stabilizer for GoPro support and control the best products, and can also charge GoPro at the same time, so do not have to prepare a few batteries, go out just to bring a charging treasure, very convenient, this point Personally think it's important

2. Split design provides more possibilities for use

3, the design and workmanship are excellent

4. The design of the connecting ring also solves the problem of hanging and hanging other accessories on the fly (for example, what the light is).

5, can be fitted to the Karma drone, a stabilizer for two purposes

Disadvantages:

1, the price is relatively high, and Hero 5 Session a price, it is estimated that the future price of the State Bank is the same as the Session, far more than the domestic price of similar products

2, only the pitch lock, there is no heading lock, although I personally feel that the heading lock does not have any eggs, but this function Zhiyun and Feiyu have, he did not, so consider a flaw

Recommended people: High quality requirements, not intend to add stabilizers to mobile phones, relatively well-budgeted friends.
