Camera gimbal or stabilizer

There are fewer options when it comes to camera gimbals compared to smartphone gimbals.

Also, foldable designs are quite rare—most camera gimbals have a traditional three-axis setup with a classic industrial look.

That said, camera gimbals generally offer more advanced features. While smartphone gimbals are geared towards consumers, camera gimbals are considered professional-grade handheld stabilizers.

hohem provides two types of camera gimbals.

One type is the all-in-one camera gimbal, which works with cameras, smartphones, and action cameras. These have a higher payload capacity but tend to be a bit heavier.

The other type is the action camera gimbal, designed specifically for action cameras. These are lighter and support a smaller payload.

We'll have dedicated articles about camera gimbal compatibility soon.

But before that, it's helpful to understand two key concepts:

Control compatibility & Mounting compatibility.

• Control compatibility means the gimbal can connect to your camera (for example, via Bluetooth) and operate its functions. Most users look for a gimbal that can both mount and control their camera. However, no gimbal supports every camera brand or model, so we recommend checking the official control compatibility list before buying.
• Mounting compatibility means that even if the gimbal can’t control your camera, it can still physically hold it if the camera’s size and weight fit within the gimbal’s limits. In this case, you can still use the gimbal to stabilize your shots for smoother footage than handheld shooting.
