I hesitated between the stabilizer and the HD 4000, significantly more expensive, which is often presented as a reference on the internet. So I made the choice of the price ... and I regret it. The settings are indeed inconvenient (no knobs to adjust the pan) which is a real problem for a tool which by definition requires a relatively fine adjustment. Furthermore it is essential to add a Quick release plate to plate to avoid too much hassle again every assembly. I also find that the axis of the handle tends to run too much so that the camera remains difficult in its axis. I suppose that practice these various drawbacks force end up being mastered, but I remain convinced that we need a stabilizer with adjusting screws to be thin enough in managing the positioning of the camera. Otherwise it should be noted that the product is rather qualitative in its materials though. Note that the CD is given with the stabilizer (manual) never worked on my computer.
