Product Information

Like the Removu S1, this is an old model and the companion app has been dropped from the App Store, so I can’t recommend it anymore. Many GoPro gimbals, are however, splash proof or weather resistant. Here are how the gimbals in this list fare against the elements:

As one might expect from an official product, mounting the GoPro to the Karma Grip is as simple as opening the harness and inserting the camera. Karma Grip Overview Handheld gimbals feature a grip so you can walk around with your GoPro in your hand. It’s the ideal setup if you want complete freedom over camera movements. Despite looking almost identical, the G6 is a big step up from its flawed predecessor, the Feiyu G5. The G5 had some funky stabilization issues with obvious microjitter, but the G6 holds its own against the considerably more expensive GoPro Karma Grip. Most people will probably want to go with a handheld gimbal, unless certain the GoPro will be worn. Filming with the GoPro in your hand is the most natural setup, and a handheld gimbal basically becomes a GoPro grip that just happens to stabilize the recordings.The initial setup can be a little fiddly – and you will need to rebalance for different camera systems – but once you’ve got the hang of it it’s reasonably straightforward and the shots you can capture with it are easily worth the extra hassle. The first problem is the size of the grip. It’s too small! I don’t even have big hands for a guy and it feels awkward to hold. Now you can attach the bundled tripod and close the legs to make it act as a grip extension, but it is still pretty uncomfortable to use. Finally, Feiyu went with a 5000mAh removable battery which can last for up to 12 hours on a single charge. You can therefore swap out the battery as you please, although most people will rarely find themselves needing to do so. What I Didn’t Like Following: The gimbal will follow movements in the pan (sideways) and tilt (up and down) axes, while making sure the footage is stabilized.

While the GoPro Karma Grip is noticeably bigger compared to a lot of its competitors, it feels incredibly nice in the hands. Being able to feel the additional weight in your hands also makes moving the gimbal around feel more controlled. What I Didn’t LikeA gimbal can still be useful during complex movements or in windy conditions. The gimbal physically stabilizes the camera, while electronic stabilization has limits. A wrist-strap attachment allows you to tether the grip to your wrist. A carabineer is also included, but it has a tendency to unscrew the base and cause water to leak in, so you’re better off using it with the wrist lanyard. Outside of typical mounts and attachments, there are several other accessories that can really boost your GoPro’s flexibility. Spare batteries are always a welcome addition, enabling you to shoot for longer while on the go. A decent case for organising attachments, memory cards and cables is always worth considering. Additionally, lights, waterproof housings and GoPro’s official accessory mods can all come in handy. GoPro subscription discounts

The iSteady Pro 4 is compatible with the GoPro HERO12/11/10/9/8/7/6/5, and other similarly sized sports cameras, including the DJI Osmo Action series, Yi 4K, Yi 4K+, AEE, SJCAM, and Sony RX0. The stabilization performance is good, and the motors have no trouble handling the GoPro (with accessories), because it’s designed to handle loads of up to 1.2kg.Zhiyun is a well-known gimbal manufacturer, though most of its offerings are designed for DSLR, mirrorless and cinema cameras.
