About this deal
Though the competition is stiff, I think Zhiyun Smooth 4 might still be a better choice for the money, depending on the features you are on the hunt for. So, let’s elaborate a bit further. The 3-axis motor helps you stabilize your videos and even add the flair of cinematic videography. However you choose to shoot your videos, you will not be disappointed by the results. A gimbal’s wide handlebars and rigid frame make it more difficult to travel with and use in small spaces compared to just the compact GH4 and a minimal handheld rig. Important features that you should look for when choosing a gimbal for any camera:
A gimbal is a pivoted support that permits rotation of an object about an axis. A set of three gimbals, one mounted on the other with orthogonal pivot axes, may be used to allow an object mounted on the innermost gimbal to remain independent of the rotation of its support (e.g. vertical in the first animation). For example, on a ship, the gyroscopes, shipboard compasses, stoves, and even drink holders typically use gimbals to keep them upright with respect to the horizon despite the ship's pitching and rolling. Like the OM 5, the Osmo Mobile 6 has a 1/4"-20 UNC port on the bottom for tripod attachment. Attaching the tripod is recommended by DJI when capturing timelapse or hyperlapse clips. An M3-0.5 screw hole on the top of the device can be used to attach an accessory such as an additional camera lens or microphone. A Vlog Combo, that retails for three times the price of the device alone, includes a DJI Mic Transmitter and Receiver. Besides handheld shooting, gimbals can be the best alternatives for mounting on cars, where camera mounts such as tripods, would not be suitable due to sudden movements that may occur.

The Osmo Mobile 6 is the successor to the OM 5 (yes, DJI has changed the naming convention for this product as well”
Gyrostabilized gimbals which house multiple sensors are also used for airborne surveillance applications including airborne law enforcement, pipe and power line inspection, mapping, and ISR ( intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance). Sensors include thermal imaging, daylight, low light cameras as well as laser range finder, and illuminators. [23] What makes a manufacturer great is when they improve on their previous products. This is exactly what Zhiyun did. They reduced the size of the Smooth 5 by 60%, as compared to the Zhiyun Smooth 4. This makes the gimbal exceptionally lightweight. You can fold it too!
