5 Best Video Stabilizing Gimbal For Razer Phone 2

Are you having trouble taking some smooth and shaky-free video on your brand new Razer Phone 2? That’s usually the case for all smartphones — our hands just don’t have the precision to keep the phone still enough to take butter smooth video. In the movies, it’s usually a complex system of hardware and accessories that keep the cameras stable for smooth transitions and movements — it’s definitely not the work of the cameramen’s own hands.

Luckily, the shaky video problem is a problem that is easily fixed with an addition accessory — a video stabilizing gimbal. All you have to do is buy one, set your Razer Phone 2 inside the phone mount, and then you’ll get theater-level smoothness in your recorded videos. Here are some of the best video stabilizing gimbals you can pick up today.

DJI OSMO Mobile Gimbal

The DJI Osmo Mobile Gimbal might be our fifth favorite gimbal for the Razer Phone 2, but it’s one of the best. Let us tell you why: DJI has packed in all of the best features for keeping your Razer Phone 2’s video as smooth as butter. The stabilizing technology put in their industry leading drone hardware is right in here in this gimbal, so you know that you’ll be getting smooth video.

Not only that, but the OSMO Mobile Gimbal has a handful of shortcuts right on the handle — there’s shortcuts for shutter, start and stop video, Active Track technology, and more. All of these features are neat — and the stabilization is some of the best out there — but that comes with a hefty price tag: a whole $200. If you’ve got the cash, the Osmo Mobile Gimbal is without a doubt the way to go, but if you don’t, there are still other, cheaper options out there.

Hohem 3-Axis Gimbal

Coming in as our fourth contender, we have the Hohem 3-Axis Gimbal. This one is simple to use — just set the Razer Phone 2 in the phone mount, and then the electric motor next to it will work to keep your video as smooth as butter. This one is actually pretty versatile in that you can use it with all different types of smartphones, some even with a case on. You can film in three different axis’, and Hohem includes support for things like face tracking, panoramic recording, etc.

Neewer NW-2AG200

The third contender on our list is the Neewer NW-2AG200, an extremely affordable video stabilizing gimbal, but one that will get the job done. This one won’t cost you more than $40, but it will enable you to get some decently smooth video going. Since it is so cheap, there are only 2 axis’ that you can film in, instead of the industry standard three. Portability is really good in the Neewer, allowing you to fold it up so that it takes very little space.

EVO Shift 3

Our second favorite video stabilizing gimbal is the EVO Shift 3. This is actually an excellent alternative to DJI’s own Osmo Mobile gimbal, coming with many of the same features and capabilities, but at half the cost. This one has a 3-axis setup, so you won’t have trouble filming in multiple angles.

The EVO Shift 3 has Bluetooth built right in, so you won’t have trouble accessing many of the shortcuts on the handle — there are things like shutter, start and stop recording, panorama, zoom in and out, and more. One of the more unique things about this gimbal is that it has 360-degree pan. It’s also compatible with tripods, and can charge your smartphone up if need be! Just keep in mind that, since it does use Bluetooth, the EVO Shift 3 does have its own battery that you’ll need to keep charged as well.

Zhiyun Smooth Q-3

The first and favorite contender on our list is the Zhiyun Smooth Q-3. It might not have all of the features of the Osmo Mobile or the EVO Shift 3, but Zhiyun has been able to offer the perfect blend between portability, function, and price. The neat thing about the Zhiyun Smooth Q-3 is that you still get access to shortcuts like start and stop video, shutter, panorama, and more. It’s very versatile in that you can use it with a variety of phones, including the Razer Phone 2. It does use Bluetooth, so you will need to keep a close eye on the Smooth Q-3’s own battery before use as well.
