Frequently asked questions
01Do I need a gimbal for reels?
Only if you move while filming. For walking shots, travel and follow shots, a gimbal makes a big difference. For static shots, a tripod is cheaper and steadier.
02Which is the best phone gimbal under ₹10,000?
The DJI Osmo Mobile SE. It's reliable, folds small and has good tracking in the DJI Mimo app. The Digitek DSG 007F AI is the cheaper option with a hardware AI tracker.
03Will a gimbal work with a heavy phone and case?
Most support typical large phones; very heavy phones with add-on lenses suit stronger gimbals like the Zhiyun Smooth 5S AI.
