Thinking of trying to do a little more filming this season and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for gimbals compatible with the Sony a6000. Was hoping I could get away with a small rig but the footage is looking a little shaky and since the image quality isn't fantastic on the a6000 stabilizing in post nukes quality completely (could be because I'm doing that wrong, tho). Also alternatives to using a gimbal if anyone has any input there totally welcome. Thanks!

You listen, and you listen here good son.
Lots of different rigs for stabilizing out there.
Shane McFalls (Line Traveling Circus) used a "fig rig" (circle) style stabilizer for a lot of the episodes.
[tag=38820]@eheath[/tag] was a notorious user of the glidecam stabilizer for most of his edits
Lots of guys will throw a camera in a carry cage/rig, but that's pretty messy and leads to a ton of shake and yaw.
Gimbals are nice to shoot with but make skiing look a bit boring in my opinion. The most respected and popular gimbals are the DJI's, but they're spendy. I have successfully used a A7iii on a Zhiyun Crane Plus and had it work well up until I was going full speed into jumps. The motors couldn't hang. Upgraded to a Crane 2s and it's been solid for filming skiing. Much more affordable than almost anything DJI. With such a light body, you should be able to get away with a lower power gimbal and be just fine.
