Best GoPro Gimbals

Action cameras from GoPro are built to withstand a considerate amount of abuse, so the people behind gimbals are forced to respond in kind so that their products would be able to keep up with those cameras. In case of this 3 axis gimbal GoPro, we're talking about a solid aircraft grade aluminum construction, one of the very few materials that have the ability to survive the aforementioned abuse while being practically weightless.

Again, it's important to remember that even the most expensive and sophisticated gimbal is essentially a supplementary part of an action camera setup, the kind of part that becomes practically useless the moment that the camera itself stops working. In order to prevent that from happening, the company behind this gimbal included a couple of charging cables that will be able to fit just about any GoPro camera out there. Using those, you'll have the ability to extend the battery life of your action camera up to 2 times. And that is fairly impressive given that the gimbal itself offers up to 5 hours of battery life. Finally, as we said earlier, the model is compatible with virtually every GoPro camera out there, the full list of which you can find in the "Compatibility" section above the review.

All things considered, we'd say that the model in question will prove to be the best GoPro gimbal for quite a number of different customers. From people who value the ability to control as much of the process as possible to those who want reliable smooth footage under the most demanding conditions.

At the top end of the previously mentioned handle, you'll be able to find the control buttons. Your standard power button, aside from the obvious application, will also allow you to toggle the shooting mode. The lock button will provide you with the opportunity to choose stabilization modes, and we will leave it up to you to figure out the purpose of the record button. However, what makes this particular setup stand out is the HiLight Tag button. As the name suggests, it will let you highlight certain moments throughout the video, which will help you edit the footage later.

When it comes to performance, this GoPro gimbal doesn't drop the ball either, but we wouldn't expect any less from an official GoPro accessory. Without requiring any help from the user, the model does a great job stabilizing the image vertically while still being able to pan horizontally. Even the follow mode that allows for some vertical tilt will not be able to shake up the image. That, along with the fact that you can use this gimbal inverted, makes it a great choice for skaters and other individuals that dabble in some low-angle shooting. Another aspect of this model that may seem insignificant but is actually quite important to a lot of users is that it doesn't produce that annoying motor noise that plagues so many other gimbals.

In conclusion, if you happen to be a proud owner of GoPro Hero5 or GoPro Hero6 and you don't mind spending a few extra bucks, there's really no reason not to give this GoPro gimbal a try. The model is about as convenient as these things get and the performance is simply top-notch.

Made of a strong full aluminum alloy, this gimbal is quite rugged and durable, giving you a fully trusted experience without worry of breakage. It includes a 5-way joystick along with a multi-function button that allows for easy but flexible controls over the camera, supporting panning, pitching and lock modes, all in 360 degrees. The stabilizer maintains extremely level and smooth video recording, despite the number of bumps or shakes that it is experiencing. It can be easily mounted onto almost any vehicle, or even used as a handheld gimbal. The battery life of the device is designed to match the battery life of the GoPro camera, so that you shouldn't need to worry about one running out of battery power before the other. However, there is a charging port on the gimbal that allows you to charge up your GoPro camera while in use. Just be sure to use your own charging cable, as one is not included. For those of you who may use a smartphone instead of a GoPro or other action camera, there is even Hohem Gimset app available for both iPhone and Android that allows you to enhance your video recording experience. Considering all of the features packed into this high-quality gimbal, anyone who wants professional quality video should take a look at it first.

With mounting possibilities out of the way, we would like to briefly touch upon the subject of performance, given that this is one of the stronger points of this model. In short, a setup that relies on top-notch brushless DC motors and precise rotary sensors is what allows the gimbal to deliver the most stable shots regardless of the activity or the scenario in general. By removing vibrations and unnecessary movements, the model lets even the least experienced users shoot the sort of smooth video that looks almost indistinguishable from the professional footage.

Of course, you don't get an action camera to take selfies in a bathroom mirror. You buy them because a smartphone or your regular camera simply do not have what it takes to survive the most extreme environments. This GoPro gimbal mount, on the other hand, was built specifically to withstand those environments. Aside from an overall sturdy construction, both the motors and the body of this model were designed to be particularly water resistant, with the rainproof housing to boot.

Having said all of that, we would recommend the REMOVU S1 Gimbal to a variety of extreme sports enthusiasts, especially those who would like to shoot footage in the rain or snow without having to worry about damaging their precious camera equipment. Plus, the sheer number of mounting options is impressive on its own.

Now, as for the controls and the mounting capabilities, we mentioned earlier that you won't get your usual handle with this gimbal. However, you will receive an adapter mount For GoPro Session and a T-clamp that will allow you to mount the model to a helmet, bicycle, selfie pole, and a number of other objects. On top of that, the manufacturers also included their very own brand new tripod in the package that will allow users to exercise a handheld approach and provide you with some additional mounting options. Of course, when it comes to the aforementioned approach, it won't prove to be quite as comfortable as your regular handle, but it will get the job done if the need for that arises in the future.

As far as controls are concerned, the GoPro gimbal in question does not intend to trail behind its competition, to put it mildly. The auto-rotation feature makes the model follow a manually set rotation route, a solution that does wonders in terms of simplifying the often complicated time-lapse photography, making the entire process not just easier but a lot more fun as well. The design enables 360 degrees limitless rotating in both tilting and rolling axes. Finally, you can use both the Feiyu ON APP or a Bluetooth remote control in order to change the filming angles, so allow your creative side to take over every once in a while and shoot some truly imaginative footage. And if you don't feel like it, there are always the preestablished modes that will do the bulk of the job for you.

All in all, the FeiyuTech WG2 3-Axis Wearable Gimbal is a model for people who like to travel just as much as they love to film. Not to mention that the particular GoPro gimbal will be able to fit not just GoPro models but also a variety of similarly sized action cameras, further extending the range of potential customers.
