    I purchased a week before the M3, The stabilization is fantastic. The product is well worth the money and the customer service was very helpful . I would definitely buy from them again

    It’s Okay, BUT

    It’s okay, but I purchased a week before the M3s was announced, with no indication from the company. I’m disappointed that I now have the old model when I would have easily gone for the new model for just $20 more. Buyer be aware.
