Gimbal for GoPro Hero 6

I have been researching for the past few weeks for a gimbal for my GoPro Hero 6 and I'm overwhelmed with the options.

I'm looking for one under $200 and would considering buying secondhand.

I have narrowed it down to:
- Feiyutech G6
- GoPro Karma Grip (secondhand)

Do you have any other suggestions? Have you had experience with any of these products?

I will be using this for snowboarding across all mountain and park terrain. I just want videos that look smooth and is compact and easy to use.

Thank you!

  • I have the Wearable gimbal like the Feiyutech WG2x. I can put it on the end of a pole/stick and get closer to the action when skiing.

  • I have a GoPro Karma Grip (got second hand in 2018) for my GoPro 5 Black and only used it couple of times. I think it works well with the GoPro 6 as well.
    It also charges the camera from the integrated battery but has very few controls. Ok as a hand held gimble. I got a USB-C extension cable to mount the actual gimble part somewhere and just keep the controls in hand. Never got a time to test that yet.

    I think you will be better off with a Sony X3000 than buying a GoPro + Gimble if you are not into underwater activities. I wish I did the same before investing into the GoPro ecosystem with battery charger, extra batteries etc. It has OIS built-in and seems to work well in a small foot print than having to play with/carry the gimbles and all. Even travel bloggers (example 1 and example2) are using it.
