U Rig Pro Camera Stabilizer

Bottom Line

Inexpensive camera stabilizer that's an easy-to-use unit perfect for shooting wobble-free video streams.

Pros

Works perfectly with a smartphone camera, as the frame makes it much easier to hold steady with 2 hands than trying to hold the smartphone by itself. You also can mount other equipment to the stabilizer, such as extra lights or a standalone microphone, to enhance your video shooting.

Cons

Clamp may struggle to hold some thin smartphones tightly inside the frame.
