I’ve added 2 gimbals to the Smartphone Gimbal Buyer’s Guide. The Feiyu G6 Plus and the Hohem iSteady Multi. They are both in the “heavy” category for gimbals, so an alternative to the Zhiyun Crane-M2. All 3 gimbals in the heavy category have their 3rd motor at the back of the phone, which removes the gimbal in frame problem with wide lenses.
For the holiday season, for Black Friday Zhiyun and DJI are reducing the price of some of their popular smartphone gimbals. So if you’re in the market for one of the gimbals listed below, you have a few days to snap them up for a few dollars less.
