However, this is the first Mijia-branded smartphone Gimbal. It costs 599 Yuan or (approx $93 / Rs 6300) and will be on sale starting June 16th in China.
This is a 3-axis gimbal similar in terms of design to the ones launched earlier. The 3-axis stabilization is helped by high precision attitude sensors and a full closure servo system for real-time stabilization with 0.03-degree accuracy.
