It is fun, but nothing professional, I think it is square, but I don't remember well. Sorry.

Sorry but no. That is too heavy. I returned this steadycam and bought a chinese made s40 stabilizer. It is built solid and worth the money for sure. With DSLRs, the s40 is what you need for steady vids. Get it on ebay for like 80 bucks. It is worth it.

Yes it's pretty good for any type of recording. Once you use it professional. It's a good pretty!!

It would really depend on what you're trying to film. I like this handle with my canon dslr because of the balance and weight. Especially because I'm skating with this handle. Very stable and the cold shoe mounts are handy. I'm not terribly experienced in go pros, but I do know they're small and light so this could help. It really depends on what you're shooting. If you're doing like slaw clips then yea, if not then I'd take a different avenue personally.

Well It depends what kind of result you are expecting, I can say that this device work fairly well, Having this said I would not use this one if i was using a better mic for the rest of my film, the quality can be very different between a pricey Mic and this one, I hope this helps

My son uses it for video, but you can buy the remote for go pro or use the blue tooth app on your phone. Other then that it's a nice pole.

Yes, depending on your product (size/color, etc...), with the right distance and # of lights, it should be good for almost anything. For me it was barely good enough for some modeling photos, which require much higher film speed due to some movement... but for inanimate objects, use a tripod and you should be good for almost anything, anywhere. I even use one of these units to enhance light for indoor table tennis!

Yes, I believe it will serve that purpose well. The quality is very good by my standards, and you will have multiple recording options from which to choose to enhance quality, depending on the recording situations. They call it "scenes".

I doesn't come with hardware to mount to a shoe, and it's not what it's designed for. You can, but I would not recommend it. Way too heavy and bulky to be a practical "on camera" mic. For on-camera I'd highly recommend the Rode VideoMic Pro Compact VMP Shotgun Microphone. A little pricey, but compact, light and good sound --

I used mine for both car and city skating today. Also use it for jogging and XC skiing.

Yes. I use it for my You Tube videos. The only problem is when I film in wide screen, the file saves as standard screen on my PC. I have to re-adjust it in my video editor, or it will appear foreshortened. If you use a tripod turn off anti shake or your background will appear to move. If you carry it use the anti-shake.

You can definitely mounted. Not sure how well the camera will line up for video

I think there are better alternatives for your hobby, I am using this one for sports and sometimes for inside meetings that I record. Hope to be helpful. Good luck ;)

alienlady, did you use this for video? This is exactly what I want it for. How much weight is needed to get this started? Some of the products I review are kind of light.

It is for stage photo application. So it should be fine for motion taking video. Regards, kimoutlet

The few videos I have done are great but it's not primarily something I use it for. Over all I would recommend a tripod or stand if you plan on using it for that. The display is big enough that you should have no issues with it.

This is a very versital unit. You can use small video cameras or a DSLR plus you can mount lights, mics and a second camera if needed. I love it and use it alot for filming sports, outdoor scenes and any action shot that requires you to have a mobile camera. You can also mount it to a tripod or mono pod to get steady shots.
