    Nice review, can I still use the combo of video transmitter and master eye controller to control my camera recording without gimbal . I don’t want to buy a gimbal, just want to make sure the combo still works independently for live viewing and camera controlling. I just need to control start or stop recording remotely. And don’t want to use my phone to connect zhiyun wifi every time. Is that possible? Thanks in advance.

    Looking at the Zhiyun website (and some other dealers it seems to me that the company doesn't really want to support/make the MasterEye anymore. I don't know why since I think that this product was an amazing idea that needed some more work in terms of software. I also could not find a camera support list for you...
