Gimbals, gimbals, gimbals

[Katchit]

Afternoon all hope you are all good!

With my work, a lot of clients now require videography so I am looking to get a gimbal to enhance footage and to include angles that I don't currently capture.

I have a Nikon D850, what gimbal would you recommend and/or have used which you really like?

Please throw any recommendations this way and I will have a look.

Thanks all.

I'd say the obvious choice would be a DJI RS4:

I have the older and smaller Ronin-SC which I tried using for an A7SII although I struggled with getting it balanced consistently which is more an issue with me than the gimbal although from what I've read the RS4 is easier to balance. It looks like it has a dial for the main camera plate to move it back and forth from the video on the main page which would definitely help, on mine you have to unlock the plate, slide it, lock it, then unlock it again, slide it etc, to get it balanced.

Think you might need something lighter than a D850; that and a gimbal would be quite an unwieldy load.

Thanks Peter, yeh I was looking at that yesterday in terms of overall weight! Seems a bit of a stretch.

Dji rs4 pro will handle anything. You can consider 3 or even 2 model to save some cash. I even tried 5d with 70-200 2.8 on mine and it balances fine
