DSLR / Go Pro Gimbal

Looking for a Gimbal for my DSLR and Go Pro to start creating smooth videos I have seen some on amazon but looking at the price point of £100-£200.

I looked at the Zhiyun Crane but way to expensive for me anyone have any ideas?

The only good gimbal to hold DSLR properly at the moment is the crane 2. The moza air can hold mirror less but you got to spend money if you want to handle heavt cameras.

The £100-£200 gimbals will only really work for the GoPro. Look at the Zhiyun Smooth Q and getting an adapter for the GoPro. The DSLR will need a much bigger gimbal and won't be cheap.

The DJI Osmo Mobile 2 is just announced - $129 so assume £129 here.

Been looking at this what phone is best for it I wonder If I could use my Xiaomi mi5 ok or best to buy Samsung S8?

No idea, but I think the iPhone 7 Plus and 8 Plus (I have the latter) will still struggle due to the optical stabilisation that cannot be disabled.

I think it's the best one on the market at the moment, I almost bought it for Japan too.

It has insane battery life, it can hold a DSLR with large lenses, it has the tripod feet. The only only downside is if you are not a Canon user, the follow focus dial doesn't work. At the moment it only for for Canon DSLR.
