Definitive Guide to Gimbals for Real Estate Video
Looking for the perfect gimbal for your real estate videos? The market offers a wide variety of options, from premium models to more affordable options. Here’s how to choose the right one for you.
Exploring the Options
On the market you will find gimbals in different price ranges. Some of the top models cost around €200, while there are cheaper options in the €100 range. Most offer good performance, although each has its own particularities and advantages in certain situations.
The Best Gimbals on the Market
For those looking for a compact, easy-to-carry device, the DJI is an excellent choice. Its compact design makes it ideal to take anywhere without taking up a lot of space. However, it is important to handle small components, such as the phone holder, carefully to avoid losing them.
Another highly recommended model is the Zhiyun Smooth 5, known for its robustness. Although it is larger than the DJI and requires more storage space, its solid construction is ideal for those who use larger devices, such as an iPhone Plus, and plan to add accessories such as a wide-angle lens.
A model I have personally used is the FeiyuTech. Despite being cheaper, its quality has fully satisfied me for more than a year of use. I especially appreciate its long handle and the possibility of extending it, which makes it easier to record from high or low angles, thus offering more flexibility during recording.
Importance of Stabilisation
The main function of a gimbal is to provide stabilisation, which is essential for smooth and professional images.
All of the above models perform this function effectively. Although they have joysticks for camera movement, it is often better to use arm movement for more precise and smoother control, a technique detailed in Tips for shooting WITHOUT Gimbal or WITH Gimbal..
Disadvantages to Consider
Despite the advantages, I have experienced some difficulties with the DJI model, especially when attempting up and down movements, which is essential in strip videos.
This drawback, though, seems to have been resolved with the new DJI Osmo mobile 6 model.
Summary
When buying a gimbal, consider those that come bundled with additional accessories, such as protective cases.
Personally, I’ve had the DJI Osmo 6 for a couple of months now and I’m quite happy with it. Although it’s almost €50 more expensive than the DJI Osmo SE (€99), I think it’s well worth it.
Hopefully this guide will help you find the perfect gimbal for your needs and enable you to make real estate listing videos that stand out for their quality and professionalism.
