Does anyone have experience with GoPro gimbal poles? I'm not sure if I want to spend the extra money if it doesn't perform well in the cold, rain, or snow.

I've seen some video with them. Good stuff. I think it would be a good investment.

They literally all come rolling out of the same factory.

Get it from China directly, save money.

I disagree. Get it from B&H. The first one I ordered I bought directly from China and they took the batteries out in customs. It took 6 weeks to get new batteries sent. My company now just ordered another, from B&H this time, and one of the motors is fried right out of the box. B&H Warranty is great and we're all taken care of. Good luck trying to warranty from the manufacturer.

I don't understand the joke, biking videos/skiing videos POV from the chest mount is by far the best IMO.

Simply change the song! Again, just some humor.

I make up these "songs" for fun and humor. You may have seen this one. It's short and at the ending.

Google only gives me mediocre answers and not great test/field footage with a chest mount and gimbal. Wondering if anyone here has had any experience with it.

The mountable version was just released this spring. That's actually the one that I referenced above with a blown motor straight out of the box. The footage I've seen is good. Haven't had a chance to shoot anything with it myself. In my opinion when a Feiyu works, it's worth it.

Awesome, thanks. I'll look into it.
