    Inkee Falcon Plus has a recommended load capacity of 200gm.
    GoPro Hero 9 is 158gm.
    GoPro Media Mod is 58gm.
    Deity D4 Duo is 40gm.
    It's over-weight.
    I tried this combination & it worked on PF setting for awhile then the gimbal flopped down. On HL setting the gimbal flopped down as soon as I tried to point at something on the street.
    Not happy as I bought this combo after watching this video!
    Maybe it's possible to rig the microphone on the right side of gimbal handle to reduce weight on top somehow with tape or something. Not sure. 😢
    Weird the photo on the gimbal box shows a GoPro with MediaMod & Light Mod - obviously over-weight too!

    Just FYI Inkee includes a screw in the box that is meant to be used with the media mod. You don’t use the thumb screw when the media mod is being used, you use that screw that’s in the box.

      @@Gemini_Connect the screw that you are meant to use comes with the gimbal. Not the black GoPro thumb screw as you demonstrate in your vid. The intended screw has a hex wrench head and is much shorter and stays out of the way. I hope you didn't accidentally overlook it in the box and throw it away. Check out the photos of the item on the amazon link you provided. It shows the small silver colored screw being used where you used the thumbscrew. Just a helpful FYI. Great videos, by the way.

    Hi Suzi. I modified the long go pro screw you filmed at 2:34 by simply putting a spacer on the thread initially. In my case, I used a slightly oversized nut found in my bits and bobs box.

    • @alexbergsland

      If I understand it correctly the gimbal comes with an allen screw to use when the media mod is in place.
      But if you want to skip tools then the spacer is a good idea. @flyingpete

I been waiting for either the Inkee Falcon or the Hohem Pro 4 to be updated to accept a Go Pro with the MediaMod. Thought it had happened with the Falcon Plus, but glad that you pointed out how awkward the new mounting is the the poor fitting GoPro screw. Guess I'll wait a bit longer for them to fix it.

    Follow up to my earlier comment about the awkward screw mounting. Watched a couple of other vlogs about the unit and some used a screw that they said came with the kit which didn't have the large Go Pro style head on it. It appeared that the fit was much improved. Also, wondered if you can mount it using a Ulanzi Go Quick II release so as not to have to screw and unscrew it to the mount all the time without throwing off the gimbal balance?

    I really like the falcon plus, but having to attach and balance the GoPro EVERY time you mount it makes it less accessible for me. I end up grabbing the Hohem since it has that quick release function. If the falcon plus had a quick detach mount, it would be the perfect gimbal for me.

    1. Reversed the gimbal frame so you could use the 2nd cold shoe mount on the side.
    2. Made it so you could hold it upside down for low level shooting which you can't do with the media mod in with the light atratched.
    If they had reversed the whole thing as I said above you could use the 2nd side cold shoe mount making this possible.
    Otherwise its a good budget gimbal

    I've been in the market for a dedicated GoPro gimbal, and this one seems just right except for the screw issue. I have a screw from a third party GoPro suction mount attachment that has only two flanges instead of four (I'm not really sure what to call the smooth notches at the end of the screw that bulge out to allow for your fingers to get in there and turn the screw more easily). I wonder if I use the one with two flanges (or wings or whatever) and get it situated just right I can avoid the large bulge at the end that makes the camera sit unevenly. Or maybe I can even grind down some of the plastic to reduce the bulk. I am going to give it a try. I just watched the video on the Amazon page selling the Falcon Plus, and it shows a narrower silver metal screw that is supposed to come with the gimbal in place of the bulky black screw. If mine comes with that then the problem is solved for me.
