As a result, only productions with a decent budget took advantage of them. When they were first introduced, motorized gimbals cost thousands and thousands of dollars. There are also gimbals designed to hold smartphones and even pocket-size gimbals with their own 4K cameras built right in. Smaller gimbals work well with DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, and more robust models can support cinema cameras. Gimbals come in various styles and sizes for use with different types of cameras. The ways of using them are limited only by your imagination. Gimbals can be mounted on jibs, built into drones, and are often attached to cars. You’ll find them on stage with bands when recording live concerts. Sometimes they’re used to achieve smooth point-of-view shots. This prevents the dreaded shaky-cam that often plagues so many hand-held shots.Ĭamera operators use gimbals when following a character as they move through a scene. Once you’ve attached your camera to the gimbal’s main arm, computer-controlled, brushless motors make lightning-fast, minute adjustments every time you move. Gimbals are a type of hand-held support system that stabilizes your camera on three axes-tilt, pan, and roll. Gimbals hold your camera steady so you can shoot buttery-smooth, cinema-ready footage while on the move.
