If you’re looking for the best GoPro gimbals and stabilizers for 2018 then you might want to continue reading.
\nRegardless of whether you are a professional photographer or simply a passionate one, you must have heard about GoPro.<\/p>\n

More than a decade ago, the company brought about a revolution to the photography market (and not just the action camera market) when they first launched their Hero series.<\/p>\n

Through the years, GoPro<\/a> has successfully managed to improve, evolve, and completely change the game when it comes to action cameras. With their products offering high-end specifications, insane resolution, stunning image quality, and amazing video experiences, GoPro has rapidly climbed the ranks to be considered as arguably the best in the market right now.<\/p>\n

But no camera can offer you a flawless experience. No matter whether you are a pro or an amateur, camera vibrations and shakes can be enough to ruin your captures<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\"Best<\/p>\n

Stabilization<\/strong> is one of the key elements in a professional video, and unless you are willing to go the extra distance to achieve that kind of stabilization, you are simply not reaping the best out of your GoPro camera.<\/p>\n

This is the part where gimbals step in. If you are looking to shoot a shake-free, smooth video<\/strong>, you are going to require a gimbal for your GoPro product<\/span>.<\/p>\n

But this is a flourishing industry, and searching for the best GoPro gimbal without any prior research can be extremely frustrating.<\/p>\n

In fact, the sheer number of gimbals and stabilizers available in the market should be enough to bewilder you, let alone the specifications of each.<\/p>\n

\n

How to Pick the Best GoPro Gimbal\/Stabilizer?<\/h2>\n

If you are not quite certain about which gimbals are the best suited for your camera, it is probably not wise to commit in an investment yet.<\/p>\n

BUT..<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have researched out the content for you, and have attempted to lay it all down in a systemic manner in a way that helps to understand and compare the products against one another.<\/p>\n

Although there are lots of other alternatives that are doing pretty well in the market, I have limited our list to 14 gimbals that are not only the best on paper<\/span>, but are also trusted by customers<\/strong> from across the world.<\/p>\n

Reliability & Quality<\/h3>\n

The question of reliability is also a significant one. If your gimbal breaks in the middle of a recording and smashes your GoPro to the ground, you lose not only the gimbal, but also the camera<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t require too much brain to figure out that the first thing that you should be looking for in a gimbal is the quality of the products.<\/p>\n

If you are not focusing on quality, you might end up buying a product that does not neutralize the camera shakes<\/strong>, and if it doesn\u2019t, the whole point of buying a gimbal turns out to be fruitless.<\/p>\n

Considering the prices of top end cameras these days, losing a GoPro just because of a poor quality gimbal is the worst financial disaster you can bring in upon yourself.<\/p>\n

Now that I have stated why quality should be your priority, let\u2019s take a look at the next important thing to consider.<\/p>\n

Battery Life<\/h3>\n

Battery life may not seem to be a major criterion at the outset, but once you begin working with your gimbal, it\u2019s sure to step in at some point.<\/p>\n

The average<\/span> gimbal in the market currently offers around 4 to 5 hours of battery life<\/strong>, which is definitely not the best. The best gimbals offer as much as 12 hours, and even if your gimbal does not match that, make sure it does not score too low on the battery performance either.<\/p>\n

        The GoPro Karma Grip is as best as you can get when it comes to brand value and trust. It is the official gimbal launched by GoPro, and thus, is designed exclusively for GoPro Hero5 Black<\/a>\u00a0and Hero6 Black<\/a>, it can also be used for Hero4 silver<\/a> and Hero4 Black<\/a> but needs a separate harness.<\/p>\n

        If you are too reluctant about buying third party gimbals for your precious GoPro camera, this is the one for you. Of course, the quality is good enough, as can be expected from a company like that.<\/p>\n

        One of the very first things that strike you when you un-box the GoPro Karma Grip is the ergonomic design that fits perfectly in the hand and gives a nice, comfortable feeling.<\/p>\n

        The stabilization capability is better than most other gimbals in the market<\/strong>; so you get a smooth recording without much hassle.<\/p>\n

        It is small and compact, easy to carry around with you, versatile and ridiculously easy to use. All you need to do in order to power up both your gimbal and your camera is press a single button. You can even insert highlight points straight from the gimbal itself.<\/p>\n

        You cannot change batteries on the go, and that might seem as a problem if you travel a lot and don\u2019t have access to a power outlet at all times.<\/p>\n

        Apart from that, there is no other concern<\/strong>, for this is one of the most reliable GoPro gimbals you are about to get in this price range. Here’s a YouTube review of the GoPro Karma Grip:<\/p>\n
