THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE BUYING A CAMERA STABILIZER DSLR

​

No matter what camera you’re using, there are some things to keep in mind:

 

1. The camera 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, so it is always better to use a complete package like a hybrid steadycam gimbal that is a full package with vest and shock absorber arm.

 

2.  The perfect Balance

The balance of a camera stabilizer is also important, 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 camera stabilizer will be easy to use, making your job easier,
cheap gimbals will be hard to balance and very sensitive to minor changes in weight as well as very sensitive to inertia forces.

 

3. Power Batteries

All models require batteries to power the brushless motors, all gimbal stabilizers use lithium-ion batteries instead, it's as always recommended to have at least 2 or 3 sets of batteries to run a gimbal the hole day.

 

 

4. Versatility shooting styles

The DSLR gimbal stabilizers have to be versatile enough to accommodate different cameras of various sizes and weights, as well as accommodate different shooting styles, the most professional gimbal stabilizers can be set up in multiple ways to accommodate various shooting styles, and also a wide range of camera weight payload and sizes.

 

5. Price range and quality

The price of a professional Gimbal stabilizer can vary dramatically. Higher-priced gimbals are more likely to have advanced features, and will generally achieve professional video stabilization results, and an improved performance.
