Despite the advanced image stabilization features on some action cameras like the GoPro Hero7 Black, a gimbal is a must if you want to ensure super-smooth footage.
For GoPro users there’s already the Karma Grip, but, as in the action camera market itself, there are a growing number of alternatives. The latest is the Gimbal 2 from SJCAM, which promises to be much improved on the original model.
Not only is it compatible with SJCAM action cameras like the SJ8 Plus and SJ8 Pro, but also GoPro’s Hero range, Yi’s range of action cameras and the Sony RX0.
Featuring brushless motors, the Gimbal 2 is able to perform four different functions. The Basic Follow Mode is the Gimbal 2’s default function, and is designed to deliver a smooth horizontal-only rotation in the same direction as the gimbal handle.
