Anyone who has used a GoPro camera would agree that it can capture amazing videos and memories, especially in situations where you can’t even dream of carrying your DSLR or a Point and shoot camera. So now when you’ve got a great camera and are at a perfect location to shoot videos and have an eye for the perfect shot as well, then what’s is it that stops you from getting one? Well, you may need a perfect companion for your perfect camera that is a GoPro Gimbal Stabilizer that helps in creating silky smooth videos.
What is a Gimbal Stabilizer
A gimbal is a pivoted support that allows the rotation of an object about a single axis. A set of three gimbals, one mounted on the other with orthogonal pivot axes, may be used to allow an object mounted on the innermost gimbal to remain independent of the rotation of its support : Wikipedia
In simple terms, Gimbal is an excellent tool that helps you get silky-smooth, handheld videos. You can get excellent videos without “camera shake”. So, when you use Gimbal for your GoPro, it comes with excellent sophisticated algorithms that can differentiate between your hand movement and any accidental movement or a sudden jerk while panning or tracking any subject. This helps the camera to stay absolutely steady resulting in buttery smooth videos.
