5 Best Video Stabilizing Gimbals For Galaxy S9

Samsung has equipped its Galaxy S9 smartphone with a wicked awesome camera — it’s a single 12-megapixel camera, but the cameras is able to capture some insane detail. It’s even able to record video in 4K, which many smartphones even today aren’t able to do. While you can capture video in a great resolution, video still tends to turn out shaky and even wobbly. That’s just natural, and unfortunately, optical image stabilization just isn’t able to get rid of all of that shakiness. However with a little extra hardware, you can smooth out video without a hitch.

Set your Samsung Galaxy S9 in a video stabilizing gimbal, hook it up over Bluetooth, and you’ll be ready to record video in the smoothness that you would see in movies. Not sure what option to get for your Galaxy S9? Follow along below, and we’ll show you the best options on the market. Here are our top picks.

DJI OSMO Mobile Gimbal

The DJI Osmo Mobile Gimbal comes in as first up on our list, and is actually one of the best gimbals that you can buy for the smartphone. DJI is a prolific brand because of its innovations in consumer drone technology. Their drones are able to capture extremely smooth video in the air, and they’ve put that same tech in the Osmo Mobile Gimbal. That said, set your Galaxy S9 inside the gimbal, and you’ll be able to capture the smoothest smartphone video on the market.

You will have to connect up your Galaxy S9 over Bluetooth with the Osmo Mobile Gimbal, which gives you access to a ton of different features and shortcuts, such as Active Track, time lapse, shutter, start and stop recording, and a whole lot more.

Hohem 3-Axis Gimbal

The Hohem 3-Axis Gimbal comes in as second on our list, and is an excellent option for those that can’t afford something as expensive as the Osmo Mobile Gimbal. It actually has a payload capacity of 250 grams or more, which means this gimbal can hold some pretty hefty smartphones, even phones with cases on. This is another gimbal that connects up to your smartphone over Bluetooth, giving you access to a variety of different features and shortcuts right on the handle, such as panorama, time lapse, and start and stop recording!

Looking for something where you can smooth our your video recording on a budget? Look no further than the Neewer NW-2AG200!

It connects up over Bluetooth, which gives you access to a bunch of different shortcuts right on the handle, including start and stop recording, shutter, zoom in or out, and a whole lot more. The Shift 3 is actually very versatile in that it can work with most smartphones, but it also functions well with a tripod.
