Lots of features and very stable.
Very well packaged and boxed. Opening the box is similar to opening a high end smartphone, it is very well presented.
In the box you get the camera - which is tiny, it just fits in my hand (but I have large hands...)
A basic instruction manual which is sufficient to figure out most functions of the camera.
A USB-C charging cable, which is a bit on the short side at 300mm. OK for lap tops but is difficult using with my desktop as the camera is left hanging. I tried a spare USB cable which is 1000mm long and has a USB C adaptor on the end but it wouldn't connect - strange but worth knowing.
You also get a well thought out protective case. Power and charging points easily accessible while cased. The case is pretty necessary as the camera and gimble look very delicate and probably wouldn't survive being dropped.
As such you also get a wrist wrist strap.

Better instructions and tutorials can be found by easily downloading the app - recommended.

The camera itself is faultless.
I charged it up and left it three weeks only using it to check the functions. I then did a little trial on the steadiness of the recording which can be seen in the video. The battery is still at 80-90%

I have a gimble on my drone so I know just how steady they can keep the image when the camera is constantly moving. This is just as good.
I had a jog down the street with the steady cam and my Samsung S20 phone. The phone isn't in landscape cos its not easy to hold while running but you get the idea. The video on the left of the screen is obviously the steady cam and it remains pretty stable though out the short jog.
Resolution on the actual footage is up to 4K and flawless. The video here is a much lower resolution for quick uploading but it demonstrates the stability of the camera and gimbal.

Other features work well such as image following and facial recognition. You can select a face to follow and the camera will keep the face central through out the filming.

Slow Motion filming, photo mode, for unblurred snaps while on the move are some other features that all work equally well.

The only downside is that there is no SD card included. I used a class 10 32GB card which had no problems recording in full 4k. I expect it would fill up very fast when shooting long scenes, so get the biggest you can.

I can't compare it with any other makes other than the company who make the drone I have (they also make - expensive - steady cams) so pricewise I'd say it's pretty much what I would expect from a quality product such as this.
