Question 1

Can i use the joby griptight mount on the curve to hold my phone? or is it only specifically made to hold a gopro?

Accepted Answer

Just for the gopro. they make one for cell phones with a different mount.

Question 2

Does this work with the hero 5 black yet? it says it does on the website and in the description. but i see recent reviews saying it doesn't.

Accepted Answer

Yes it does! It works with hero 5. Not the hero 5 session. I tried already👍🏼

Question 3

If I was using this for skiing, could I point it downhill, or will it stay perpendicular to gravity?

Accepted Answer

I'm sorry the steadicam Curve is useless outdoors.  On a good day it may remain stable indoors if you do not have a ceiling fan.   After days of tinkering, I put the Stedicam away and purchased the Glidegear Cellfie.  Much better, more expensive but still seriously affected by light breezes.  Sooooo.  I finally bit the bullet and bought the Gopro Karma grip Finally I have stable action video.   So, to answer your question, It is designed to stay perpendicular to gravity and will not work for downhill skiing.  If you cannot afford a powered gimbal, a helmet mount will work the best.

Question 4

Will this work with the GoPro Hero5 (size and weight changed)?

Accepted Answer

I bought this and will be returning it as it does not support the Hero 5 Black. The case makes the camera too top heavy and the Steadicam Curve is not able to balance. There is a statement on the manufacturer's website that it does not support the latest GoPRo Hero. But, they are working on a new model that will (http://www.tiffen.com/curve_compatibility_statement.html). The product seems awesome and I am looking forward to the new version.
