A gimbal is a holder in which you can place a camera that is automatically held straight, regardless of which movement you make.

The compact, 300 gram PowerVision S1 gimbal – in multiple colors – is specifically designed for taking photos and videos with smartphones. By unfolding an arm and the feet (tripod) and adding a magnetic attachment for the smartphone, it takes on its active gimbal shape and can move the phone over three axes.
The built-in 4120mAh power bank provides the S1 with power, charges QI phones and earphones, and charges other devices via USB-C. A universal magnetic phone mount with a two-sided clamp is included. The gimbal communicates with the app via bluetooth. Buttons on the S1 are there for Power on/off, start/stop photo/video, a zoom slider and a joystick for horizontal and vertical positioning of the phone.
The app has multiple camera and video functions and can also be controlled with gestures: for example, a V gesture takes a photo. In addition, there are many settings and creative editing functions in the app. In practice it takes some getting used to all the buttons and functions. This is all easy to try and test until you get the hang of it and can operate it smoothly. Static and moving tracking works well, the vertical movement of the phone is limited.
In short, a compact gimbal that fits in your jacket pocket with a lot of innovative functionality and offers many new creative possibilities for your phone.
