⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jessica Lin - Travel Vlogger
"I’ve been using the New S5B 3-axis Gimbal (Pro Model) for my travel vlogs since May 2025, and it’s been a total game-changer. The face object tracking is incredibly accurate—even when I’m walking through crowded markets or hiking on uneven terrain, my framing stays perfect. The 12-hour battery life means I can film all day without charging. Lightweight, intuitive, and delivers cinema-quality smoothness."

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ David Park - Student & Hobby Photographer
"Bought the Base Model in January 2025 for personal use and short TikTok clips. For the price, it’s impressive—super easy to set up and stabilizes my phone well, even when I’m moving. I wish it had longer battery life (6 hours is okay), and it’s not compatible with my DSLR, but that’s expected at this level. Great starter gimbal!"

🎥 Professional Filmmaker Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Marcus Reed - Freelance Cinematographer
"I tested several gimbals before settling on the Pro Model in March 2024. After 8 months of near-daily use on client shoots, I can confidently say this is one of the most reliable and precise stabilizers I’ve used under $500. The +30% stabilization precision makes a visible difference in fast-motion scenes. Paired with my mirrorless camera, it holds steady even on bumpy car mounts. ABS build is light but surprisingly tough."

🌍 Travel & Adventure User Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amina El-Sayed - Adventure Traveler
"Took the Advanced Model on a 3-month backpacking trip across Southeast Asia. Weighs next to nothing, fits in my daypack, and survived monsoon rains and dusty trails. The wireless Bluetooth connectivity held up well during live streams from remote areas. Battery lasts through a full day of filming. Highly recommend for travel creators who need reliability without bulk."

🎥 Live Streaming Enthusiast Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Tyler Chen - Live Streamer & Educator
"Using the Handheld Gimbal feature for my weekly educational livestreams since February 2025. The 360° rotation and smooth panning make my demos look professional. Only downside is occasional Bluetooth dropouts when I’m moving around the room—maybe within 10 meters it’s fine, but beyond that, signal weakens. Otherwise, fantastic for dynamic content."

🏆 Industry Expert Recommendations
Tech & Videography Expert Recommendation
Alex Turner - Professional Videography Gear Reviewer (TechLens Media)
"The New S5B stands out in the crowded gimbal market thanks to its balanced mix of performance, portability, and smart tracking. The Pro Model’s 12-hour battery and superior stabilization make it ideal for professionals, while the Base Model offers excellent value for entry-level creators. Among the few gimbals that deliver on both smartphone and camera compatibility across models."
Content Creator Coach Recommendation
Maya Johnson - Digital Content Strategist & Creator Mentor
"I recommend the New S5B series to all my clients starting out in content creation. Its user-friendly interface and reliable stabilization reduce technical barriers, allowing creators to focus on storytelling. The face tracking feature is especially helpful for solo vloggers who don’t have a camera operator."
