Speaking of the materials used, the plastics are of excellent quality and the assembly is nothing short of perfect, so much so that you have the feeling of having in your hands a product of a quality and price range much higher than that of belonging, strength also confirmed come on almost 500g of weight. Devices for a size of 55x90mm with max 6.5 “display and a weight of about 250g. The grip, despite being entrusted to a classic spring system, is still safe and perfect with every smartphone we have tried. Surely, however, you will find some difficulties with particularly elongated smartphones at the time of the first activation in which you will have to manually stabilize before entrusting everything to the gimbal.

FUNSNAP Capture 2 review: perfect stabilization and flawless app

Using this FUNSNAP Capture 2 you will never find yourself regretting the choice of not purchasing a more expensive product. The stabilization capabilities of this gimbal are indeed perfect, as well as having all the customization possibilities that you could request from a product of this type. Thanks to the application available for iOS e Android it will in fact be possible to take photos and record videos (up to a maximum of 4K) and to alternate the various functions including face tracking and the much loved timelapse and hyperlapse functions that everyone appreciates. By selecting the exact starting point and the final point of your shooting, Capture 2 will automatically rotate the frame to create evocative videos.

The various settings, however, are not entrusted only to the application but, thanks to an infinity of hardware commands available on the body of the gimbal, it will be possible to keep almost everything under control. First of all, through various presses of the on / off button, it will be possible to alternate 3 different operating modes:

Default mode (green LED): roll axis locked horizontally
Locked mode (red LED): all axes are locked, camera aimed at the same point
Pan mode (blue LED): two axes locked, horizontal roll and up / down tilt

There is also a convenient wheel on the left side to zoom directly from the gimbal. An impeccable position for control unless you are left handed! Obviously present a joystick for manual control of the frame. To complete the equipment and the shooting possibilities, there is a trigger that blocks or unlocks all the axes with a pressure, making the adjustment of the frame even more immediate.

FUNSNAP Capture 2 review: autonomy

The battery inside the gimbal is good 2200 mAh and guarantees at least 8 hours of autonomy, which can also increase as the weight of the smartphone used decreases. Full charge can be achieved with approximately 2 hours of connection.

It is time to take stock

During my weeks of testing I really tried to find a defect that could somehow make us think whether or not to buy this FUNSNAP Capture 2 but, in the face of a highly competitive price, of always reliable performance, infinite possibilities of use and a complete hardware equipment, I can only recommend the purchase. Certainly there are products on the market that are equally valid or even slightly more performing (I am thinking for example of the tracking of the working face but not very fast) but the sale price becomes the main (and not indifferent) cause for taking this FUNSNAP product into consideration.
