Been thinking about a Gimbal for a while now, and prices on Amazon seem ok - down from £250 that I was seeing just a few weeks ago.

I decided to give "Flubit" a try. For those who don't know, Amazon seller sign up to them, their Amazon inventory gets added to the Flubit database, along with your lowest price. Flubit don't charge the seller any fees, but instead add their own markup.

So for example, if you sell a blender on Amazon for £200, you'd have to pay Amazon fees etc (let's say 15%) which means you would only see £170 of that. So you tell Flubit the cheapest you could sell is for £175, the customer pastes the URL into Flubit, Flubit give the customer a "deal" at, let's say £190, and hopefully get a sale. The customer has saved a tenner, the seller has got their £175 and Flubit make £15 (or what ever they add on)..... (oh, they are also the "machine" behind the Barclay's scheme).

Anyway, back on track, I find a gimbal (link above), log in to Flubit, and their offer came back.... £186.58!

Not sure what you are on about. It is a few pounds cheaper than the Amazon price as per your link above.

When I looked at the link above the Amazon price is £133, over £50 cheaper than the 'deal'

As I said, compared to the Amazon price it is cheaper...
 
Oh OK, I see what you're saying.

Not cheaper than what is available on Amazon though.
 
That's the price which includes 'prime' or, it's available on Amazon for £133 with less than £1 postage, I'd be happy to wait a few days for the delivery personally :-)
 
The difference being the sellers. Not just prime. For that difference I'd be happy to buy it not form Amazon as well but that is not the point as that is what you do when using flubit as well. The point being is what flubit compares it against and with whom they have a deal. Their instant algorithm obviously requires some work, as does their sourcing strategy for this item...
 
Yes, I spoke to an advisor at Flubit, and their price was against the Amazon price. Obviously the other two sellers aren't part of the Flubit program

As an owner of a GoPro Hero 4 Black my first choice was to go for the kind of gimbal listed above (the FeiyuTech G4S), but reliability let me down. The Osmo is a high quality bit of kit.

Exactly what I said. As long as I have it before we head back to NYC I'm not fussed (31st July LOL)
