Which stabilizer is best for DSLR Cameras? (DJI Ronin RS3 Mini vs Glidecam HD-4000)

In this video, I compare the performance of two popular stabilizers for DSLR cameras—the gimbal DJI RS3 Mini versus the Glidecam HD-4000 (with vest and arm brace). Watch as I test these rigs on a Canon 7D Mark II with various lenses while navigating a staircase to showcase stability on flat surfaces and during movement using the staircase next to the studio as test spot. I break down the pros, cons, and necessary tweaks for each system, and share tips on balancing your gear for optimal results. Don’t miss the detailed analysis to find out which stabilizer is best for your DSLR setup!
