Bought a $40 phone gimbal that ended up just collecting dust

I got it for a trip to Seattle, thinking I'd make cool videos... but it was a pain to set up each time. After two days, I just used my hand again. Now it sits in a drawer with the charger still in the box. Anyone have a gadget they thought they'd use way more than they actually do?

What kind of videos were you even trying to make with it?

Trying to make cool travel montages but they all looked like shaky home movies, riverw85. I was going for cinematic and got confused tourist instead.

Used to think gear didn't matter much for that stuff. Saw a video about basic editing cuts and it totally flipped my view. Smooth shots are one thing but how you put them together changes everything.
