What is a gimbal?

Just what is a gimbal? The simple answer is that it is a camera stabiliser. It allows you to get nice smooth video when handheld and also do other things like track your subject and even use it to create photographic panoramas. Gimbals are reasonably priced and can come with built in cameras or there are some designed to take your smartphone like an iPhone or Android. Some are designed to take other cameras like GoPros.
Here are some:
DJI Osmo Mobile 3 (as seen in this video): amzn.to/3ywAx5z
DJI OM 4: amzn.to/3mKtrYN
DJI RSC 2 Pro Combo (as seen in this video): amzn.to/3yuVjCG
Zhiyun Smooth Q3 Combo: amzn.to/3mICSYX

I love this video. Very informative❤❤

Thank you.

😉👍 The important thing here is that the gimbal succeeded in stabilizing the important footage occuring in the background(starting at 1:41), with the elderly man demo-ing the proper technique for walking with a cane! Its why KZbin's algorithm automatically linked me here to this video.... It seems I've been holding my canes upside down all along! Seriously though, good video. Prior to watching it, I had no idea what a "gimbal" was, despite seeing and hearing the term being thrown around in videos & articles about video recording, as if its a common term that everyone on the planet should already be familiar with.

I might need one of those stabilisers you mentioned in the background one day. Well spotted. You gave me a chuckle.

There's a great demonstration of a gimbal by youtuber Rainfall Projects. He put one on his dog. Powerful tool.

[@SnoopyDoofie]

What about stabilizing it along the vertical axis? You only showed it stabilized along the horizontal axis.

Hi loved the video it really explained it , which one would you recommend? S22 ultra Samsung I will be using it for skiing

[@jargonfreehelp]

Thank you. Always nice to hear that. I'm very happy with my DJI Osmo Mobile 3 and they have a more recent version number 6. I would check that out. That sounds like fun skiing with it. Please share the video when you've done it would like to see it.

[@Marzeliax]

Did it make you use it's own camera app?

[@jargonfreehelp]

It didn't make me use its own app but their app is useful.
