I recently got a Zhiyun. I love it more than my camera if that says anything - the footage is unreal and amazing. It's my very first gimbal, and I've never owned a Steadicam/Glidecam before neither.. but I balanced it in a few minutes and use it w no problems. No vibrations, no shakes, no bugging out, no glitches, etc.
I think each has it's own use, but I prefer a steadicam personally. I like how it has that floating effect compared to the tracking/motorized look gimbals produce.
Thanks man! I have a low budget steadicam which can be frustrating at times. But I'm not very patient and don't have the steadiest hands. But I sure can't see spending 4 times as much for a gimbal that will frustrate me just as much if not more. And in your footage, I certainly can't see anything that makes the gimbal worth the extra money. Your steadicam shots are mostly every bit as smooth. Cheers.

For reliability gimbals are slightly easier to use and get good looking shots. Steadicams are easy too, but they're not as easy for first-timers and it takes a while to get good at one. On top of that there's much more room for error mess up a steadicam shot and bump causing them to sway a bit, and on top of that certain techniques such as running and stopping quickly take some practice.
There is a lot of misinformation floating around in the world of indie filmmaking. A steadycam IS a type of gimbal. A gimbal is what is used to stabilize the camera. There are your standard non motorized gimbals (flycam, glidecam, steadycam, merlin, etc) , and the newer, motorized gimbals (MoVi, Ronin etc). The title should be changed to "Gimbals: Motorized vs Non Motorized"
+thomaskazuya > A steadycam IS a type of gimbal -- That's irrelevant. Those terms have acquired the meaning that gimbal = mechanized whereas steadicam is the old-style weight balanced type. Nobody also cares for the difference between glidecam vs steadicam and so on.
You might be technically right, but the better type of communication is what actually people are able to understand. Sometimes, the right information might just confuse them - the objective is to see what's important.
My main camera is a Sony a6300. You are absolutely correct about heavy lenses and how the gimbal will struggle to balance. I had a Glidecam HD 1000, and sold it because it was not portable when I travel. I now have a Pilotfly H1. Compared to the Glidecam, I like the portability factor of it.
They have those steady Cam mechanical gimbals that are much smaller and they have 3 legs at the bottom. If the Steadicam was more compact would you recommend it over the other? I'm normally on my motorcycle so I need something small
Some great points to consider. I have a small gimbal for a GoPro and it works amazingly well. I also have a stedi-cam for my DSLR, but rarely use it because it's too much trouble to balance.
I've always preferred the steadicam over the gimbal mostly because the steadicam offers such a nice fluid feel whereas the gimbal is very static if that makes sense. Been thinking about investing in a gimbal but I highly doubt i'll be getting one.
I have a cheap version of a Steadycam, (Neewer 24')... Once set-up it does a pretty good job... However, it has no "micro" adjustments and is difficult and takes work to balance, so much so, I dedicate a camera/lens for it's use, if possible... The Steadycam type stabilizer has unwanted "X" axis movement, while a gimbal I have used has unwanted movement in the "Y" axis but is easier to set up on the fly when switching to a tripod etc... Thxx, Moses...
Excellent video! Thanks so much. To me, the gimbal in your videos is head and shoulders above the output quality of the steady cam. The gimbal shots were mesmerizing due to the fluidity of the shot. Beautiful vids by the way!
Thanks for this, im deciding which one to buy i think im going to go for zhiyun gimbal, im female so weight is an issue for me for sure also the mechanical steadicam is one angle only and electric version has multiple options
Nice comparison. I was hesitating about whether to buy a stedycam or a gimbal. They each have their strengths and weaknesses and you've covered them well in this video. I'm leaning towards steadycam now. Bigger size is my only concern since I know I have to travel with it every now and then. Have you tried mobile phone gimbals. They are a lot cheaper and some of them seem to give really good results. I think it could be an easy option for holiday trip if you have somewhat decent phone.
No I didn't try mobile phone gimbals yet. I'm sure there are that work well within certain limitations. 1. A phone doesn't have super wide angle 2. The heavier the set up, the more stable it is. Phones are very light so it might not be super smooth
You can also get a wide angle lens attachment for an iPhone. I just got the Moment wide angle lens; it goes for around $100. I use my DSLR, but I find my iPhone to be much more convenient and lighter to use when doing really long day hikes or backpacking trips in the mountains. But I'm no professional or anything. xD
Both appear to have the same functions. A few months ago I would have said the steadicam, but I have found that there is a rather steep learning curve, and not only that, it can take awhile to set up. With a simple electronic gimbal/steadicam such as the Zhiyun Crane, I would eliminate a lot of stress and set up time. I've had my Flycam 3000 for over a year now and I still can't get good shots. I dunno if it's technique or if it's defective, but I the convenience of gimbal cannot be overstated in my line of work.

Sounds creative :D But no, because it would be really heavy and also it would be so high. Don't even think I could balance it because it would be too heavy.
Love how a part of this comparison is shot in my hometown! Thanks for comparing those + the price range in wich they differ. As your steadicam is clearly pretty good and affordable compared to most of the 'budget' gimbals.
Just bought the Canon M5. I hope one day I could be as good as you are. Im a beginner since I just opened my channel. But you inspire me to get better..so thanks for that
OK for filming straight but what about also going up and down? Just as doable with a steadycam? I like the idea of no batteries and, it looks like(?), more control.
I am currently thinking about getting a Gimbal. I have owned a glidecam HD 1000 for several years now and although the results are very good, carrying it around while traveling is a pain. The gimbal shots post edited with the warp stabilizer looks as good as the steadycam shots. Do you recommend this DS1 Gimbal or is there some else out there that can perform better?
yea it looks like that. or possibly the OIS or IBIS is fighting the gimbal in stabilizing and you see unexpected jitter, that i havent seen with that gimbal before.

The Steadicam takes skills. And you have them. You're very good at it, actually. But for most people the motorized gimbal is easier to use out of the box, I think.
Ahaaa! - But now they have the Zhiyun Crane models (balance in few seconds, and zero jitters or shakes, very long battery life, range of cameras can work, reasonable cost, zero learning curve, almost bullet proof, etc). Ha - I sound like an ad. Great video - Thanks for posting! By the way, you are really, really excellent with the steadicam - NOT easy to do as well as you have done here. You are very skilled. (I gave up)
Hello, what do you mean by using a wide angle? which one is better? So is not good to use a 50 mm lens isn it? It looks like more than 30 mm is too much.
Subjectivity or perspective is really interesting. Most of the comments here say that the steadycam is more fluid. I for one find the gimbal more fluid and reduces the up down movements of walking more. But I still prefer the more "natural" look the steadycam gives.
Very nice gimbal shots, but a lot of your gimbal shots have the horizon tilted about 5 degrees to the right, while the horizon ofcourse should be horizontal? I see many gimbals failing there, especially Feiyutechs. What's up with that? One of the strength of a gimbal should be providing a horizontal horizon, nice and aligned. Do you need to re-adjust it every time for the same camera or so?
Yep, most gimbals have this problem and it has nothing to do with the balancing. It's entirely up to the motor. Different gimbals fix in it different ways. On the gimbal I currently use, Moza Air, I fix it via the phone app.
I own beholder ds1 and steadycam probably with your sony you should try native lens like 10-18 f4 beholder should handle it very smoothly. Another think is setting on beholder it was setup on heaver camera and I manually updated settings and now Im getting much better stabilisation.
Pretty much, yes. Since I have the Gimbal I didn't really use my Steadycam anymore but there were situations where I missed the ease of the Steadycam. Will see how I continue in the coming year.
i have both gimbal and steadicam. steadicam is more reliable. i would recommend that you buy a steadicam to the size of gear you use. there is a learning curve to the steadicam tho. gimbal i noticed you need to pay more attention to your up/down motion, this is what causes vibration and walking movement. steadicam your arm tends to absorb all the updown motion which is why its typically not seen with steadicams
It is not correct. If a tradermark is turned into a common word, it should be written the same, but without capitalizing the first letter, as it happens with many many very common brands. Just think about it. The correct term would be _steadicam._@@DerSystematiker
Looks like the results are about the same. Good comparison. I have a Steadycam but haven't used it much. I should bring it out and give it another try. ;)
Amazing shots! I use the Flycam HD5000 Stabilizer. However gimbals like the DJI Ronin M are easier to pan with. Otherwise steadycams will be better for running with the camera 😎!
I bought a Cametv gimbal second hand on ebay after hearing good things and not being too clued up - one of the settings was dodgy and unuseable, but I still noticed a kind of un-natural robotic jerkiness on other settings that at first seemed fine and actually thought that maybe i needed stabilization on my lenses too. Now I'm thinking (and hoping!) its not that and its just the modern technology creating that weird look, an am trying a flycam. I'm sure for a while some electric gimbals can be fine, but I dont like the uncertainty/possibilty of things breaking down on me either. I've always been a bit of an advocate of older, more reliable technology anyway in ways so I'm not really sure why I went for the gimbal in the first place and feel slightly naive too maybe, and it might now get very little use if any, ha.
Thank you, I'm gringos to buy a steadycam rather than a gimball, because for filmmaking, with the steadycam I have less vibrations when doing quick movements...👌🏻
The warp stabilizer is a tool in Adobe Premiere Pro CC that smoothens videos. I just copied in scenes from videos that I already made so I didn't use the original files. And on some of those scenes I used the warp stabilizer. I thought it's better to note it so that people don't accuse me for cheating ;)
Nice video and thanks for sharing. The Gimbals add features like tracking and the prices have come down quite a bit. Good or bad I vape so I always have 18650 batteries. 😉
Good point! I don't really mind it. Even on my steadycam I don't exactly look on the screen. I look on my lens. By seeing my lens I know how the picture looks like. This however only counts for super wide angle shots. When I'm on 20mm or above I do look on the screen but still, I can see enough on the Gimbal to know what I am shooting. Especially cause I never have the Gimbal on eye level but chest level, so I look on it from the top.
Because quite some people asked, here are the Steadycam and Gimbal I own.

I actually think the steady cam footage looks smoother and more fluid. Very nice video

And all the downsides of a gimbal really makes it hard to choose a gimbal.

You're telling me that a stabiliser that costs 6 times the amount shown off in this video is better? Wow. Amazing

The 3rd type is Steadycross. I've just got mine and it is totally different...
You might be technically right, but the better type of communication is what actually people are able to understand. Sometimes, the right information might just confuse them - the objective is to see what's important.
Gimbal is the best for quick moving. When you want nice slow and steady shots use the steadycam

I'm sure there are that work well within certain limitations.
1. A phone doesn't have super wide angle
2. The heavier the set up, the more stable it is. Phones are very light so it might not be super smooth
I can't image that one steadycam is so versatile to hold both, a GoPro or a DSLR.
What about the Roxant Pro? It is small steady cam that is very solid in its build
@jaco2023Even when you take all weights off, it's still too heavy.
I tried it myself, doesn't work.
You can also get a wide angle lens attachment for an iPhone. I just got the Moment wide angle lens; it goes for around $100.

For 400-600 bucks.
Made some really great points. You covered a lot. Great job.
Hey man. Do you make money making films? If so, how? Do you sell your footage to stock footage sites etc? Is it real money in that? Thanks man
have you tried attaching the gimbal to the glidecam? Just curious about how the combination would work.
Sounds creative :D
But no, because it would be really heavy and also it would be so high. Don't even think I could balance it because it would be too heavy.
Which works best for tracking scene where the subject is being chased in the woods. Can you film fast action sequences with either?
Love how a part of this comparison is shot in my hometown! Thanks for comparing those + the price range in wich they differ. As your steadicam is clearly pretty good and affordable compared to most of the 'budget' gimbals.

I own both and I prefer the Beholder ms1 Gimbal because of its size and weight. Initial balance is much easier on the Gimbal.
amazing review. im stuck whether i should get a gimble or steadycam. But i I think i will get both for my video projects.
I am currently thinking about getting a Gimbal. I have owned a glidecam HD 1000 for several years now and although the results are very good, carrying it around while traveling is a pain.

Please could you tell me what Steadycam you used please ? and is it suitable for the Canon 5d DSLR weight? Thanks very much.
I feel that your gimbal was not correctly calibrated .
It certainly is correctly balanced. I could plug it into my computer and make adjustments to the motor settings, but then I loose my warranty.
He's right, your horizon is off on most of your gimbal shots.
yea it looks like that. or possibly the OIS or IBIS is fighting the gimbal in stabilizing and you see unexpected jitter, that i havent seen with that gimbal before.
Yeah I would almost say that it is 5-8 degrees tilting.. I almost feel dissy when watching the footage around 4:10..

Yeah, Steadycam is definitely more stable. Great video. Simple, straightforward, and to the point.
Congratulations on a great, informative and illustrative explanation. You have helped simplify my decision making. Well done!
Hi, could you tell me if it is possible to put a smartphone on a steadicam that is for devices up to 8 pounds?
Wave you tried attaching your gimble on top of your steadycam?
Hello, what do you mean by using a wide angle? which one is better? So is not good to use a 50 mm lens isn it? It looks like more than 30 mm is too much.
I usually shoot with 10-12mm on APS-C

I own beholder ds1 and steadycam probably with your sony you should try native lens like 10-18 f4 beholder should handle it very smoothly. Another think is setting on beholder it was setup on heaver camera and I manually updated settings and now Im getting much better stabilisation.
Great comparision...neither is perfect, so you have to grapple with what is most important for you?
Pretty much, yes. Since I have the Gimbal I didn't really use my Steadycam anymore but there were situations where I missed the ease of the Steadycam. Will see how I continue in the coming year.
Great footage, I suspect you're pretty skilled at using these so are getting better results than the average person
Can you send the link to the steady cam you used in this video? Thanks
how do you get everything in focus?
Super wide angle lens + f/8 = very wide depth of field so pretty much everything is always in focus
thanks for the response!
What mm lens?
(did you use)
If I was looking to do video for virtual tours of a home which one would you suggest? I have a Sony A7 or I could use my Galaxy S8
I would assume than for such a video a super wide angle lens would be necessary. Sony a6300 + Samyang 12mm f/2 for example.
Nice views and shots. Wonderful photography. I appreciated your review of both technologies. Thank you.
what camera you using? and a lens on that alpha series that you used? thanks 👍
You just convinced me to save my money and get a steadycam. Thanks.
Very useful comparison. And enjoyed the footage. Thanks!
Yo uso un gimbal Feyju G4 con mi GoPro y anda maravilloso. Por cierto, hermosas las locaciones, donde son ?
Interesting sound? Could you send a link to the provider of the soundtrack? Stock sound.
i have both gimbal and steadicam. steadicam is more reliable. i would recommend that you buy a steadicam to the size of gear you use. there is a learning curve to the steadicam tho. gimbal i noticed you need to pay more attention to your up/down motion, this is what causes vibration and walking movement. steadicam your arm tends to absorb all the updown motion which is why its typically not seen with steadicams
"Putted?"
Wonderful video tough, helped a lot!
what camera are you using?
You have me sold on the steady cam. I think that's the say I'm going to go. Thank you!!
Were these videos recorded with optical image stabilisation ON?
If the lens had IS then yes. The super wide angle lens doesn't have IS.
I love your videos, you get straight to the point
Steadycam - Steadicam
So what? Since "Steadicam" is a registered trademark owned by Tiffen most people use "steadycam" as a geral term for that kind of stabilization.
no they dont
It is not correct. If a tradermark is turned into a common word, it should be written the same, but without capitalizing the first letter, as it happens with many many very common brands. Just think about it.
The correct term would be _steadicam._@@DerSystematiker
I wish I saw this video before buying an EVO rage. I cannot get the thing to balance properly. I'm going to return it and pick up a steadicam.
Looks like the results are about the same. Good comparison. I have a Steadycam but haven't used it much. I should bring it out and give it another try. ;)
which one better for fast moving ?
what I learned from the video is that it's hard to get a level horizon. most of the footage of both are tilted.
Nice. You really know how to use them. Very useful for my decision to buy a Steadycam stabilizer. Very nice video's in the 2nd part.
The footage at the end was really useful. Thanks
The steadycam looks better and doesn't obscure your monitor. I don't think the extra huge expense of the gimbal is worth it.
Amazing shots! I use the Flycam HD5000 Stabilizer. However gimbals like the DJI Ronin M are easier to pan with. Otherwise steadycams will be better for running with the camera 😎!
I bought a Cametv gimbal second hand on ebay after hearing good things and not being too clued up - one of the settings was dodgy and unuseable, but I still noticed a kind of un-natural robotic jerkiness on other settings that at first seemed fine and actually thought that maybe i needed stabilization on my lenses too.

..You still see many pros using the old gear too so can't see much need to change anyway maybe
Is the footage shot in Sonsbeek park?
Thank you, I'm gringos to buy a steadycam rather than a gimball, because for filmmaking, with the steadycam I have less vibrations when doing quick movements...👌🏻
What lens are you using on your Steadycam? Você pode falar ? Sou fã do seu canal aqui no Brazil
The Sigma 10-20 f/4-5.6
Nice review! What is the name of the song you used in the last bit of the video?
What a great video! Good clarity and easy to understand. :)
Hey awesome video. I enjoyed watching it. What is the name of the soundtrack you used for the last half of the video?
Good video, and don't worry about people making fun of your accent, at least you try your best my friend, keep going and you'll progress.
Recently bought steadycam, thanks for review
What do you mean by "probably warped" on some of the shots?
The warp stabilizer is a tool in Adobe Premiere Pro CC that smoothens videos.
I just copied in scenes from videos that I already made so I didn't use the original files.
And on some of those scenes I used the warp stabilizer. I thought it's better to note it so that people don't accuse me for cheating ;)
what type of camera and Lens did you use on the dock and boat shot?
Canon 600D / T3i + Sigma 10-20 f4/-5.6
great video. i would never use a gimbal. motors could ruin a great shot. steadycam looks much better. way more fluid!
Very helpful. Thank you. And by the way - some very nice shots. Keep on
I have sony a58 camera .. should i buy Zhiyun crane for it ? Pls anybdy help me to answer if u know
I have a Gudsen Moza Air now and love it!
Great review and feedback of the differences. Thanks
What's the steady cam you are using?
Ok sorry I see it now - think i'm going to by the steady cam now now now.
Welche Kamera benutzt du?
Very nice comparison. Thanks for this video!!!!
May I know what do you mean by "Probably warped"?
Warp stabilizer is a effect in Premiere Pro which digitally smoothens the footage
Ah! thank you
Nice video and thanks for sharing. The Gimbals add features like tracking and the prices have come down quite a bit. Good or bad I vape so I always have 18650 batteries. 😉
Thanks for sharing your review...really cannot tell the diff...!
why is the gimbal tilted to the left all the time?
gimbal is better for sure... but you have to consider the price
Very helpful video. I’m going with a steady cam first.
Great information! Keep up the great work! 👍
You cant see the screen on your gimbal while filming. Is that not an annoyance?
Good point! I don't really mind it. Even on my steadycam I don't exactly look on the screen. I look on my lens. By seeing my lens I know how the picture looks like. This however only counts for super wide angle shots. When I'm on 20mm or above I do look on the screen but still, I can see enough on the Gimbal to know what I am shooting. Especially cause I never have the Gimbal on eye level but chest level, so I look on it from the top.
I needed a wide angle lens so I needed to get a gimbal for the new camera!
Kann man kleine Kameras wie z.B. eine GoPro auf einer Steadycam benutzen?
Dafür brauchst du eine Steadycam, die für Actioncams gemacht ist.
oke, danke für die schnelle Antwort
What cameras are using in this video?
Sony a6300, GoPro 3+. Most of the Steadycam footage was taken with a Canon T3i/600D
Is a gimbal easier for a beginner than a steadycam?
Yes
