Features & Capabilities

BENRO GIMBAL is a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) app for controlling Benro R1 and R2 gimbals from your smartphone. Quickly switch gimbal working modes (Pan Track, Lock, Omni-track), swap shooting modes (Video, 360° Panorama, Motion Time‑lapse), and fine‑tune tracking speed and sensitivity for smooth, professional movement.

Beyond movement control, the app lets you adjust smartphone camera parameters — shutter speed, exposure, white balance, focus, ISO and resolution — manage your media library, and perform firmware updates on the gimbal. A built‑in user guide provides step‑by‑step help, making the extension ideal for photographers, mobile filmmakers, and content creators who need precise, on‑the‑go control.

User Reviews

Users report frequent Bluetooth connectivity issues, app crashes, and poor compatibility with newer devices. The app lacks key features like slo-mo and smooth zooming, and has a non-intuitive interface that confuses novices. Despite supporting 4K recording and external mics, users want better stability, updated firmware support, and clear setting confirmations. The app needs significant improvements to usability and functionality to meet user expectations.

Pros

Supports 4K video recording on certain devices (e.g., 4K at 30fps).
Has real-time microphone level indication and supports external microphones like Saramonic Mic (SmartMic).
Includes features like auto-panning camera with face tracking and object tracking (though some users report these functions are unreliable).

Cons

Unstable and inconsistent Bluetooth connection, especially with Android 9 and 10 devices, causing pairing and connectivity issues.
App crashes frequently and often reverts to setup screen, with poor permission handling.
Limited device compatibility and lack of updates; many reported issues with newer phone models like Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra and others.
Limited functionality such as missing features like slo-mo mode, difficulty in selecting camera resolutions (e.g., 4K or log mode not accessible), and complicated or non-intuitive user interface requiring prior knowledge.
No confirmation messages for applied settings, causing uncertainty whether changes have been saved or taken effect.
