Gimbals

A few months ago, Chinese phone brand Honor teased one of the oddest concepts we've seen for a handset: it hid a folding robot arm attached to a camera. You can now buy one in China, and shoot Arri-grade footage with it.

Compact camera drones are great for creating action-packed content, but they can't do double duty as a pocket gimbal cam as well. Until now. The HoverAir Versa combines a pocket-sized three-axis gimbal camera with snap-on caged drone wings.

Insta360 and Leica's first co-designed gimbal camera packs dual lenses, 8K Dolby Vision video, and a detachable OLED screen into a 200 g body – the most serious challenger to DJI's Osmo Pocket yet.

With the new Osmo Mobile 8P, DJI's borrowing a handy feature from its high-end Ronin gimbals for mirrorless cameras for its latest smartphone stabilizer – and then taking things up a notch.

What better place to pull the covers off of your latest and greatest pocket camera than the Cannes Film Festival? DJI has done just that, unveiling the Osmo Pocket 4P on one of the most prestigious stages in global filmmaking.

JMGO's latest lifestyle projector might look like just another boxy smart entertainment hub. But this model is reported to boast the world's first 3-in-1 optical system, and rests on a nifty gimbal stand that can adjust itself or play follow the user.

DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4 builds on its compact gimbal camera line with 4K/240fps video, improved tracking, refined imaging with boosted low-light performance, and smarter automation aimed at solo creators and on-the-go shooting.

Though the world's smallest Laser TV took most of the CES 2025 spotlight, JMGO did have other models on display – including an early look at a new N series. Now it seems that the first N3 tri-laser model has soft launched.

Honor is hyping up a phone concept that looks too bonkers to be true – and for the moment, it is. The 'Robot Phone' has an articulating gimbal arm with a camera at one end, and the whole thing is hidden behind a sliding glass panel on the back. Why?

Although GoPro's Hero actioncams have featured digital image stabilization for quite some time, the company hasn't recently offered gimbals … but now it's doing so again. The Fluid Pro AI 3-axis gimbal not only tracks subjects, it also packs a light.

Last year we reviewed the Feiyu Pocket 2S, an actioncam with a hard-wired detachable gimbal camera head. Well, Feiyu has now upped its game with the fully wireless Pocket 3, which looks like it should make for much easier shooting on the go.

DJI is bringing its stabilization know-how to cinematic content creation with the launch of the Ronin 4D system, which rolls a new full-frame gimbal camera, 4-axis stabilization, a LiDAR focusing, and video transmission/control into a single package.
