Is the stabilizing feature difficult to use?

Nope. Once you've set it (turn it on), as I recall, everything is automatic. As with any new touch-screen device it may take awhile for you to get the hang of the menu operation but once you've played with it for a day or two you'll have it down and some of the features are not the kinda stuff that a "regular" point-and-shoot photographer should be playing with anyway....they won't help produce a better shot in the context of how I use the camera, at least. There are about ten settings I even care about and once I've set them, I pretty much forget about them. Hope this is useful to you.

Tightening the straps to get the angle you want to hang in should keep you steady. I have never had that problem.

Yes! You can plug it into a free channel on your transmitter. Ideally it should be one controlled by a 3 position switch, for heading lock mode, Off, and normal stabilizing mode. I however only have a 2 position and a dial, so I use the dial to control the mode.

Mine are the same way & I don't believe it's affected the stabilizers performance. I'm really pleased with the results these stabilizers provided. Works exactly as advertised. Al Irwin

You do have to keep holding it down. Still, a great buy for the money. I've used mine hundreds of times.

Only if your flight controller is capable of it. It automatically stablizes on the tilt axis though.

The "tilt-lock" feature is easy to use, however the lock part of it will fix the chair into a customizable position. This means if you like a certain degree in fixed seating, this chair won't "save" it per se, but you can just readjust it to your liking. It may be a tad tedious but it is definitely not a difficult thing to do.

I have one with and one without. The answer is no, you don't have to but sometimes when walking a fair distance between shots it is nice to have the stabilization that this provides. I suggest trying it both ways.

It is stable but one does have to aim to keep things in balance when adding items.

I have no problems with it being stable. It doesn't tip(unless all your weight is on one edge). Or bounce/shift under you. And I have balance and depth perception issues! So I think you'll be safe.

I had never used the hold feature. I tested it and it will actually hold a number by pushing the button. It was difficult to test as I was pulling the hook with one hand and holding the handle with the other and my wife pushed the button. I don't think it was accurate as the maximum pull weight as it didn't seem to save the highest pull. It only goes up to 44 lbs. You would need to create a handle system as the hook is too small and you have to maintain the max pull when you push the button. The scale works great and is accurate, the system may be difficult. The price is right.

It's helpful to stabilize it, but I haven't done that yet. You need it more the higher the hoop is.

No. I don't find it inconvenient at all! This receiver does so many other things so well that no balance control is not serious for me!

It's easy to use kept on auto but it has many features/capabilities that require high learning curve for one not versed on features. Also, given compactness of camera, controls are tiny and somewhat awkward to access.

It has a minimum tension only, it still requires some effort, like you were using about a 5 lb weight. It was also easier when I held it out at arms length, and used your other hand to stabilize it. I haven't set it any higher and it's been a couple of months.

It isn't nessicaily difficult, but if you don't have a good angle on it it can be awkward. If you are adjusting it that much you may want to look at other options.

It is not advisable. It becomes unstable if you try to set it up in any other shape.
