Which gimbal works best with the Panasonic GH6 for videography?

Question

So I finally saved up for the GH6 because I want to start doing wedding videos here in Chicago but honestly I'm ready to throw the thing out the window. Every time I try to move it just looks like a shaky mess and my arms are killing me after five minutes. I tried looking at gimbals online but there are so many brands like DJI and Zhiyun and I have no clue what fits or how they even work. My first gig is in two weeks and I only have about $400 left to spend. Im so lost and feel like a total idiot for buying such a big camera. Which gimbal actually works with this thing without being impossible to set up?

The GH6 body is about 823g, so you need a gimbal with sufficient payload capacity. Given your $400 budget, these two models offer the best performance-to-price ratio:

DJI RS 3 Mini 3-Axis Gimbal 2kg Payload

Zhiyun Weebill 3S Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer The RS 3 Mini is lighter, but the Weebill 3S offers better motor torque. I'd go with the Weebill for wedding stability. Both fit your price range.

Tbh weddings are a marathon. I remember my first one, my back was wrecked. I eventually grabbed the Zhiyun Crane 2S 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer because it handles the GH6 chunkiness without the motors screaming.

Check eBay or local listings, you can snag one for way under $400.

Spend 3 hours just balancing it this weekend.

Keep your knees bent when moving. Dont stress, youll get the hang of it.
