I bought this for myself for creating YouTube videos, but, outside of testing it out,  never ended up using it. Not because it doesn't work, but because the idea of creating content went in different direction. I tested it for balance with an old GoPro, a cell mount and a DSLR. The GoPro and Cell Phone worked well. The DSLR was heavy for it, but mine is an older kind of clunky one. Might be OK for newer, lighter models. See description of included weights below. Brand new condition. Ships in original foam packaging. Doesn't have original box.

The Opteka Stabilizer is a handheld camera support device designed to help you capture smooth, shake-free video. Once balanced, a camera operator can use the stabilizer to create fluid, "floating" camera movements, even when walking or running. The stabilizer has a max capacity of approximately 1.2 lb, which makes it ideal for action cameras and smartphones. It features a standard 1/4"-20 threaded camera screw.

The Opteka stabilizer employs a ball joint gimbal, which isolates the camera from incidental twisting and wobbling motions. Proper balance can be obtained using the included three-piece counterbalance weight set, which attaches via a sliding bracket. In addition, a circular bubble level helps users to fine tune their adjustments. The foam padded handle supports one-handed operation, although two hands can be used too for better control.
