Saw this yesterday while researching gear for my own trip. Unfortunately, the Zhiyun Crane M3S 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal was not as good as expected with the a6700. I had issues with motor vibrations even using lightweight primes.

• Zhiyun Crane M3S 3-Axis Gimbal: Software is honestly quite buggy and the small plate size is frustrating.
• Hohem iSteady MT2 Camera Gimbal: Much better stability for the price but the build quality is kinda disappointing.

i've been using the a6700 for a few months now and honestly you're gonna love it for a trip like japan. i went through the same dilemma last year and ended up picking up the DJI RS 3 Mini 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer. it fits perfectly in my 6L sling and the setup is basically weightless with those small primes. heres why i'm so satisfied with it:

• the bluetooth shutter connects instantly every time i turn it on
• balancing takes maybe two minutes once you get the hang of it
• it handles the a6700 autofocus weight shifts without any jitters at all i did mess around with the Zhiyun Crane M3S 3-Axis Gimbal for a week but the app was just frustrating for me... the dji just works better with sony's protocol. if you can snag it around $300 it is easily the best investment for a light setup. you're gonna have a blast in japan with that kit!
