Phone stabilizers

Did anyone tried to use phone stabilizers with non OIS phone? What's the experience is it worth it?

I'm not sure if my phone has OIS on or off in 60fps mode, but with a cheap 2 axis stabaliser (3 axis is WAY better) this is what I got. The jumpiness left is due to the missing axis, it doesn't smooth left and right motion so you can see how pans left and right look WAY worse than up and down.

I did a long walk through the park in 4K (which DOES turn off OIS) but unfortunately I think I deleted it as it was literally just a test of the stabaliser and taking up tons of HDD space. Plus it seemed pointless uploading it to YouTube (typical eh).

I have redmi 4x which shoots quite good 1080p video considering its price (except that it has no stabilisation) so i am thinking if such investment is worth.

Thanks for that example. Btw whats your phone model i could find out if that phone has ois by my self.
