DJI RS 4 Mini

A compact 890 g gimbal with a 2 kg rated payload, suited to smaller mirrorless bodies with prime or standard-zoom kits, and it handles vertical shooting. It's a strong travel-friendly option in its class. Heavier hybrid rigs will outgrow it — the RS 4 covers 3 kg and the RS 4 Pro 4.5 kg — so match the payload to your actual lens setup before buying.
