This is the ViewFlex S Pro 3-axis smartphone gimbal.
It's packed with features to help you shoot smooth video shot on your phone.
Some of the main features are app control, a built-in LED light and object tracking.
The S Pro is solid metal with buttons and controls in a convenient position.
The four position joystick lets you manually pan and tilt the head.
And on either side are quarter twenty mounting holes for accessories.
The grip has a non-slip foam covering and on the bottom of the handle is another quarter
twenty mounting hole.
To the side of the controls is power button for the LED light.
Included in the package are two 900 mAh batteries, battery charger, USB cable and counter-weight
for larger phones.
Located just under the phone mount is a USB charging port.
To power up, hold the power button for two seconds.
Then press the power button again to activate the stabilizing motors.
As I move the handle around you can see the ViewFlex gimbal is doing it's job... quite
nicely in fact!
A quick press of the side button and the LED lights up.
The cool thing is that the LED is dimmable by sliding the button up or down.
Some of the optional accessories I got is the wireless remote and extra high-capacity
batteries.
The extra batteries are longer and includes an extended grip.
Here you can see the difference between the standard and extended grips.
One thing I found out when using my iPhone 7 is that it becomes unbalanced so the counter-weight
is necessary for larger phones.
The optional wireless remote can come in handy in certain situations.
It pretty much has all the controls that are found on the gimbal itself.
The joystick controls the head for panning and tilting.
It's a little laggy and the joystick sticks sometimes but it's workable.
Three clicks of the Mode button will put the gimbal into portrait orientation and back.
When first powered on, the indicator light is blue for half-following mode.
Double-click and the green light means full-follow mode.
A red light means the gimbal is in lock mode.
So here, the gimbal is in half-follow mode and the phone stays vertical no matter where
I move the handle.
In full-follow mode, the phone tilts up and down with the handle as I lift and lower it.
In lock mode, the phone stays pointed in one direction and doesn't move from that area
of focus.
The head never pans in lock mode.
Shutter release or video recording can be activated by pressing the mode button once.
It can take a bit of time and looking at the manual to remember the different modes but
you'll get used to it.
And once you're familiar with how the gimbal works, you can easily adjust it's functions
while shooting.
For the last part of the video I'll show some test video I took at the Funko Headquarters
using my iPhone 7.
A curious thing is that the ViewFlex app recorded the footage in 720P which is weird.
So I had to scale the footage up for this video.
Take a look!
