DSLR gimbal for video tours?12894

I'm looking to add video tours to my services.

What DSLR gimbal is recommended?

Or would you recommend just getting the Osmo Pocket? Thank you for your input.

depends on your camera, weight is a big factor, doing a large house can really take a toll on your arm. sort out which camera you will be using and then look for a gimbal that will take that weight (with lens)

Not sure if you are flying a drone but here is my 2 cents.

I was using one of the lower end Zhiyun Crane models with a light weight Panasonic G85 Mirrorless (for video only). It worked out well enough but after acquiring my Mavic 2 Pro a year or 2 ago, I just started using that for interiors too. I hold it. Pan left and right with my hand - up and down with the gimbal. I can bareley tell the difference in quality if any. It is one less thing to carry in my bag. I am already flying the drone for exteriors so it is ready to go. I also don't have to worry about different settings, frame size and frame rate in post. I keep considering spending money on a better mirrorless and gimbal but I honestly don't know that it is worth it. I don't want to get into lighting and spending too much time so I don't know how much of a difference it would make. I would like to hear what others have to say about this. I feel I am already giving plenty for my real estate packages (Stills, Aerials, Matterport, Zillow Tour and uploads) so not trying to spend more time unless it is going to be a world of difference and maybe I can charge a bit more.

Camera weight is definately a factor. I was initially using my DSLR. That was heavy and clumsy.

I will at least try this method with my drone before making a purchase, seems like it could work out. Thanks for your input!

I have a Crane 3 Lab. It can get heavy quick, but it's a great gimbal. I originally bought it for a BMPCC 4k, but I sold that camera. It's a little overkill now.
