Best DSLR Gimbals in 2019

For years, amateur videographers were looking for technology to produce professional looking videos.

DSLR Stabilizers The wait is over. Today, we’ll present some of the best DSLR & Mirrorless camera Gimbal Stabilizers and Steadicams.

Whether you’re a professional filmmaker, aspiring blogger or amateur YouTube artist, you understand that great content is what drives your fan base and keeps them hungry for more.

But producing great video content is more than just what you say or what you do: it’s how great everything looks when you put it all together.

One of the most challenging aspects of filming is keeping your camera steady while you’re moving. The homemade feel was used to great effect in The Blair Witch Project, but shaky camera effects are a niche approach. A shaky camera or a sudden bump can ruin perfectly good footage, forcing time-consuming and potentially expensive reshoots.

Things to Consider When buying a DSLR Gimbal

Not everyone is working with the same cameras, the same equipment or the same goal in mind. That said, there are a number of things that are important in picking a gimbal, no matter what camera you’re using. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Weight

I don’t really need to explain why this is important. The heavier the gimbal (and the camera), the more weight you’ll be carrying with you. Most camera stabilizers are fairly light, but some of them weigh around 10 pounds, and maybe as much as 13 or 14 pounds with the camera secured.

2. Balance

The balance of a camera stabilizer is also of paramount importance, perhaps even more so than its weight. Balance is measured by both how well it balances your camera and how easy it is to balance. A balanced stabilizer will be less clumsy to use, making your job easier.

3. Batteries

While some cheap gimbals don’t use batteries, most models require batteries to power the brushless motors. Some gimbal stabilizers use standard alkaline batteries, but most models employ lithium-ion batteries instead.

4. Versatility

Unlike gimbals that are designed for smartphones or action cameras, DSLR gimbal stabilizers have to be versatile enough to accommodate cameras of various sizes, as well as accommodate different shooting styles. The most desirable gimbal stabilizers can be set up in multiple ways to accommodate various shooting styles.

5. Price

Gimbal stabilizers can vary in price dramatically. Most models are a few hundred dollars, but it’s not uncommon to find gimbals priced fat $500 or more. Higher-priced gimbals are more likely to have advanced features, and will generally employ better warranties.
