What is a gimbal? Find out here

If you are not an expert in photography, you probably do not know the meaning of the term gimbal. In general, a gimbal is a gimbal suspension that is used to stabilize images. We'll explain exactly how it works here.

What is hidden behind the term gimbal

The term "gimbal" is often used in photography. In fact, a gimbal is a gimbal suspension that is used to stabilize a camera. Especially with cameras, such as action cams, that do not have built-in image stabilization, it makes sense to attach a gimbal to stabilize the image. This involves connecting the camera to the gimbal in such a way that it can rotate in all directions without falling out of the suspension.

This is what a gimbal is used for

Gimbals are mainly used to record videos while on the move. If you want to take pictures while hiking or cycling, it is advisable to attach the camera or smartphone in an appropriate suspension, so that a stable video is created without shaking. Depending on the device for which you need a gimbal, there are different models to choose from.

1. If you need the gimbal only for video recording with the smartphone, the model "DJI Osmo Mobile 2" is a good choice. Dieses ist einfach zu bedienen, verfügt über viele Funktionen und ist bereits ab 127 Euro zu haben.
2. Flexibel für Smartphone und Actions Cam nutzbar ist der „Freevision M3-Axis Gimbal“. Dieses Modell ist um 360 Grad schwenkbar, hat eine Akkulaufzeit von bis zu 18 Stunden und hat mit einem Preis ab 115 Euro ein sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.
