About this deal

The GoPro Karma Grip (Official accessory) was engineered to work seamlessly with the GoPro, but it seems GoPro is focused on HyperSmooth electronic image stabilization technology over a gimbal’s mechanical stabilization these days. This means they probably won’t release another official gimbal. It supports GoPros, but there are two caveats. First, you’ll need to buy the adapter mount, and second, some of the controls won’t work for GoPros. Zhiyun Crane M3 Overview

Handheld gimbals feature a grip so you can walk around with your GoPro in your hand. It’s the ideal setup if you want complete freedom over camera movements. The number is also pushed up by the fact that not every GoPro is exactly the same; the shape (and battery shape) changes over time, so essentials change too. What we look for in GoPro accessories Costing significantly more than third-party offerings, the GoPro Karma Grip doesn’t offer the best value for money. GoPro gimbals from the likes of Feiyu and Zhiyun have been closing the stabilization performance gap and typically cost half as much as the Karma Grip. First and foremost, the price. It costs three times as much as other GoPro gimbals and you’ll need the custom GoPro adapter mount to use it with your GoPro.The iSteady Pro 4 is compatible with the GoPro HERO12/11/10/9/8/7/6/5, and other similarly sized sports cameras, including the DJI Osmo Action series, Yi 4K, Yi 4K+, AEE, SJCAM, and Sony RX0. Performance wise, the Removu S1 delivers very smooth footage. It isn’t quite as smooth as the Karma Grip or G6, but it’s definitely one of the better stabilizers out there. What I Didn’t Like

For those videographers looking to eliminate camera shake without breaking the bank, the Hohem iSteady Pro 4 is an excellent choice. The splashproof gimbal is by far the most popular GoPro action camera gimbal right now and is what I’d recommend to the vast majority of buyers. CompatibilityThe Zhiyun Crane M3 is designed for all kinds of cameras, not just GoPros. This means it can comfortably accommodate smaller mirrorless cameras, point and shoots, and smartphones. Before taking your new camera and float out on the water, it’s a good idea to test it out at home in a sink or tub. It’s better to discover any potential defects before you’re in deep water. Zhiyun is a well-known gimbal manufacturer, though most of its offerings are designed for DSLR, mirrorless and cinema cameras. And just like the MT2, it has the same cons of not being a dedicated GoPro gimbal. Namely, it’s bigger, more expensive, and involves an intricate balancing procedure.

GoPro’s current lineup of action cameras offer some of the best video stabilisation around, but for cinematic camera movements, nothing quite compares to a dedicated gimbal. Compact and versatile, the Zhiyun Crane M2 S is a three-axis stabiliser that can be paired with your GoPro, smartphone or mirrorless camera. It offers dedicated stabilisation modes for recording smooth panning, POV and follow shots and even boasts a vortex mode for filming creative transitions. Most wearable gimbals are very similar, so the only point of differentiation is stabilization performance. The WG2X shines in this area, beating out the likes of the equally popular EVO SS and Hohem XG1. Thanks to its software update, the stabilization is also a noticeable upgrade to its predecessor, the WG2.

The first problem is the size of the grip. It’s too small! I don’t even have big hands for a guy and it feels awkward to hold. Now you can attach the bundled tripod and close the legs to make it act as a grip extension, but it is still pretty uncomfortable to use. As such, if portability or weight limitation is key then foam might not be the best choice. To find the perfect floating camera handle, consider the material and make sure it suits your specific needs. Extra Features The telescoping pole section is made from durable transparent plastic, making it seemingly disappear in photos. This makes it perfect for capturing water sports footage. A cradle for holding a GoPro WiFi remote is built into the bottom of the telescoping pole section, which makes taking selfies a breeze.

Lastly, go with brightly colored floating GoPro handles whenever possible. High-viz colors like neon orange or yellow are much easier to spot on the water’s surface than darker tones. FAQ Can you mount GoPro handles directly on paddle boards? When choosing the best floating GoPro handle for your needs, there are several factors to take into consideration: Stability Included with the floating handle is a double mount – allowing you to attach two separate cameras or smartphones at the same time. This allows you to film in both directions simultaneously, or it can be used to attach an underwater light. The mount tilts in 180 degrees which provides a huge range of shooting possibilities. Key Features The Media Mod also adds a number of connections for those that desire them, including two cold-shoe mounts, micro-HDMI, USB-C, and 3.5mm microphone port, eliminating the need for the previous necessary audio dongle. Whether you want to use GoPro’s other products, the Media Mod adds a platform to connect multiple items including the company’s Lighting Mod and Display Mod — both of which are also in our list of the best GoPro accessories — and gives a convenient place to mount them.Yes, you can mount GoPro handles directly on paddle boards. There are many products designed to be used on water surfaces, such as suction cup mounts that attach to the paddle board’s surface and floaty grips that enable your GoPro to stay above the waves. These make it easy and safe to capture amazing footage of your next adventure! How does a floating GoPro handle work? Despite its low price tag, the iSteady Pro 4 isn’t short on features. In fact, with four shooting modes, 600° range of motion in the pan axis and a 14-hour battery life, it has most of the competition beat. The stabilization performance is good, and the motors have no trouble handling the GoPro (with accessories), because it’s designed to handle loads of up to 1.2kg.
