As more 3-axis brushless gimbals become available, it’s important to know which models are a good fit for the Panasonic GH4.<\/p>\n
3-Axis brushless gimbals can greatly increase your production value, but not just any gimbal will do.<\/p>\n
While you definitely want to make sure that the gimbal can handle the GH4 and the lenses you want to use, it’s also important that you don’t get a gimbal that’s overkill either. Gimbals that support large cameras are often heavier and more expensive, both of which are needless costs if you shoot primarily with a compact camera like the GH4.<\/p>\n
Smaller and lighter gimbals that are appropriate for the GH4 will be easier on your arms and shoulders, allowing you to shoot longer with less fatigue. Gimbals designed to handle smaller cameras are also generally less expensive, so you don’t have to break the bank to capture smooth footage with the GH4.<\/p>\n
Different gimbals have different features, so we’ve narrowed the list down to the 5 top gimbals for the Panasonic GH4 to help you choose the one that best fits your needs.<\/p>\n
The 3-axis brushless gimbal is a new stabilization option for shooters. It uses a variety of electronic components, such as motion sensors and brushless motors to keep the camera steady.<\/p>\n
Here are some of the types of camera movements that a gimbal can be used for:<\/p>\n

It has a thoughtful design with a variety of features, an ample weight capacity, and an affordable price.<\/p>\n Despite the competitive pricing, the Birdycam 2 does not skimp on features. It includes everything you need to get up and running quickly, including a stand for balancing, a pan\/tilt joystick to control the gimbal, and a quick-release camera plate.<\/p>\n Another notable feature of the Birdycam 2 is that it has a built-in stand that allows you to set the gimbal down on any flat surface. Seriously, all gimbals should have this.<\/p>\n Here’s a nice video of the Birdycam 2 in use by Makai Creative<\/strong>:<\/p>\nVaravon Birdycam 2<\/h2>\n
