No one who’s spent a few hours on YouTube has been spared the visual seizure salad of super-shaky action cam shots - almost by definition, getting action shots is a shaky-can’t-be-helped scenario. Sure, clever editors can tone down the vibrations and herky-jerkiness in post, but why not cut down on that from the jump? ...you know, so to speak.
Enter Thanko’s electronically controlled, self-balancing 3-axis gimbal designed specifically for action camming (definitely fits the GoPro/FauxPro boxy form factor best). The device has multiple tripod mount points a number of different configurations, making in wholly compatible with almost any existing action cam accessories - including mono-pods, selfie sticks, etc. It also twists and turns into 4 different stabilization configurations, making it widely flexible in attaching to whatever to shoot whatever.
The gimbal’s built-in battery pack (rechargeable batteries included) provides a good 3-4 hours of stable shooting, but in locked mode it can also serve as a external battery pack for the action cam. A dedicated hard case and range of attachment accessories and cables and such are also included.
Specs: Dimensions: 95w × 91d × 53.4h (mm) Weight: 188g; 223g with battery pack Camera Compatibility: All GoPros and like devices (camera not included, duh) Battery Life: 3-4 hours Included: Body, charger, 4 rechargeable batteries × 4, output/charging cable, M1.5 hex wrench, 2 T-clamps, adhesive mounts, quick release buckle, several quick-release mount thingys, USB connector, hard case, Japanese manual Price: ¥39,800
