I've been really satisfied with my DJI RS 3 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer for the a7iv. Honestly, the DJI RS 3 Mini Lightweight Gimbal is great for travel, but that Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM Lens is heavy for its motors.

• Try the Zhiyun Weebill 3S Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer to save money
• Check the DJI compatibility tool online Stronger motors ensure the gimbal wont struggle during long wedding days.

Saving this whole thread. So much good info here you guys are awesome.

Re: "I've been really satisfied with my DJI RS..." - honestly check the manufacturer sites for reliable info. It's kinda safer.

• search youtube for weight tests
• consult official compatibility charts

Jumping in here. In my experience, relying on the mini or even the standard version for a high-stakes wedding in Italy is a bit risky. I've tried many setups over the years and motor fatigue is a real issue when youre shooting for 10 hours with that heavy glass. Like someone mentioned, the weight is a concern, but i would argue you need significantly more motor headroom than the base model provides if you want total reliability and zero axis drift throughout a long day. Before you commit, i have to ask... are you using the original Sony FE 24-70mm f2.8 GM or the lighter Sony FE 24-70mm f2.8 GM II? Also, do you plan on mounting any extras like a focus motor or a monitor to the setup? That total payload and center of gravity shift basically dictates whether you should skip the smaller options and look at the DJI RS 3 Pro for the extra torque.

Can vouch for this
