Camera gimbals have gained immense popularity among filmmakers and content creators because they allow for camera movements similar to those achievable with a Steadicam. For example, the ZHIYUN Crane 3S Pro has a payload of 6,5 kg (14,3 lbs) and has been reviewed by DoP Scott Leslie.

The Crane 3S Pro is certainly a great tool, but in the end, it is still only a gimbal. Nothing can truly beat the floating camera movements of a real Steadicam. If you’ve thought about purchasing a full-on Steadicam system, watch this beginner’s guide and check out the CVP offers for several Steadicam products.
