Brushless gimbals are one of the latest options for stabilisation options for shooters who wants a smooth view of their footage, but can it withstand Steadycam?
Let's find out.
Gimbals are certainly best in class to give shooters a steady and smooth footage whether you are running at very high speed or in any moving vehicle recording something.
Traditional handheld stabilisers can be very unhandy, and come up with such kind of uneven design just to have usable results. But, gimbals, on the other hand, are the solution to all these problems.
Gimbals are also used to mount everything from small cameras to very big telescopes depends upon requirement. In portable photography equipment, the single axis gimbals provide a balanced approach of movement in cameras and lenses.
A gimbal head rotates the lens around its centre of gravity, thus allowing an easy and smooth flow of photography which gives a better user experience as compared to Steadycams.
Very large gimbals mounts in the form of 2 or 3 axes which are used for satellite purposes and they are used on a very large scale. 2 or 3 axis gimbals are very hard to practice and handle as well.
Gimbals bring together an array of complex electronics, motors, physics and sensors to accomplish the task of keeping the device out of a motion to achieve the goal. By using the modern technology to cancel out the movement so that camera becomes stable.
One another advantage of using gimbals is to keep a level head under pressure.
Traditional stabilisers depend on the counterweight of the device to keep the movement smooth. But this has a very big disadvantage that it makes the set up sensitive to external forces like wind or inertia when you turn a corner. As a result, keeping the camera consistent is very difficult for a continuous purpose.
In contrast, brushless gimbals use motors and sensors to detect the stability in movement and identify the errors which can lead to instability and thus provide better results than Steadycams.
In some cases, it is even possible to simulate the movement of sliders with brushless gimbals.The key is keeping the camera vertically level and then the gimbal will do it's magic to keep the angle of the camera in coordination with the horizon.
Drawbacks
Though gimbals are difficult to handle, but they are surprisingly versatile and can unlock new ways to have more flexibility than ever before.

Drawbacks
- Requires power
- Takes time to balance
- Tiring to use
- Requires time to savvy
- Bulky
- Requires external monitoring
