Motorized gimbals are a big part of filmmaking these days, as they can smooth out dramatic camera movements or, if you’re less adventurous, just help you capture clean footage while you’re walking. Our top pick is the Zhiyun-Tech Crane 3 LAB, which packs powerful motors while remaining fairly lightweight. The handle design also makes it easy to carry in a number of different positions for creative shots. It can support the weight of most mirrorless cameras, and runs over seven hours on a charge. At $900, it’s not exactly an impulse buy, so if you’re looking for a cheaper option, the Crane 2 isn’t as versatile and can’t support heavier cameras, but it costs just $350.
