Camera movement using electronically stabilized multi-axis gimbal systems for smooth, programmable movements with handheld mobility.
Gimbal Shot
The Gimbal Shot utilizes electronically stabilized multi-axis systems (typically 3 axes: roll, pitch, yaw) to enable fluid camera movements. Unlike the Steadicam, the Gimbal offers programmable, repeatable movements.
