What budget gimbal actually works for the Sony ZV-E10 II for daily vlogging? I am going to Japan in two weeks and need something under $300 fast and I'm kinda panicking.
I read about the RS3 Mini and Zhiyun M3S but some people say the RS3 is overkill while the Zhiyun has motor jitters with this camera weight. I just dont know what to buy...

What lens are you actually pairing it with? In my experience, glass weight is the real motor killer... check the Hohem iSteady MT2 3-Axis Stabilizer for a solid budget pick tho.

ngl the panic is real when you have a big trip coming up. I would suggest looking seriously at the DJI RS 3 Mini 3-Axis Mirrorless Gimbal even if people say its too much. Honestly, its better to have motors that can actually handle the ZV-E10 II without sweating. I've seen people try smaller stuff like the Zhiyun Crane M3 S 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer and they ended up fighting micro-jitters because the balance was slightly off. You might want to consider the weight of your lens too... if you're using anything heavier than the kit lens, the tiny gimbals struggle. Just be careful with the setup and make sure to watch some balancing tutorials before you hit Japan. You dont want to be stuck in a Kyoto temple fiddling with axis locks while everyone else is enjoying the view. Better to have the extra power and not need it.

No way, I literally just dealt with this yesterday. Small world.
