A gimbal is a stabilizing mount that keeps your camera straight while you're moving. The rotating axes of the stabilizer absorb unexpected movements and ensure they're smooth and slowed down. This creates stable and flowing images. Some gimbals include a separate tripod, which you can attach below the handle of the gimbal. This allows you to put it down, which is useful during vlogging for example. Stabilizers are available for smartphones and various types of cameras.
