    The Best Budget Gimbal for Solo Filmmakers in 2026

    Two years ago, I showed up to a commercial shoot with a Sony FX3 and a full rig. The client looked at my setup and said: “Did the gear rental not come through?” That’s the world we live in now. Full-frame mirrorless cameras have become so capable, so small, and so ubiquitous that showing up…
