3-Axis Drone Gimbals
Compare 3-axis gimbals and gimbal cameras for drones from Chinese manufacturers by payload weight, camera type, angle range and control interface.
3-axis gimbals only: gimbals and gimbal cameras stabilized on pitch, roll and yaw for drones. Two-axis mounts and fixed cameras are on the drone gimbals page. Listings run from small FPV camera gimbals to three-axis payloads with zoom and thermal cameras.
Quick selection guide
Smooth video
A three-axis gimbal removes pitch, roll and yaw movement, for mapping, filming and inspection footage.
Bring your own camera
Bare gimbals hold a camera you choose; check the camera weight and size they are tuned for.
Integrated payloads
Gimbal cameras with built-in zoom or thermal cameras arrive tuned and ready to connect.

What to check before you buy
- Payload weight
- Match the gimbal's rated camera weight to your camera, lens and accessories.
- Angle range
- Check the pitch, roll and yaw travel you need, such as looking straight down for mapping.
- Stabilization accuracy
- Compare the stated jitter or angular accuracy, measured under stated conditions.
- Control interface
- Check PWM, serial, CAN or SDK control and support for your flight controller.
- Power and weight
- Compare the gimbal's own weight and power draw with your aircraft's budget.
- Mounting
- Check the quick-release or mounting plate and the vibration dampers fitted.
3-axis gimbals FAQ
What does a three-axis gimbal stabilize?
Pitch, roll and yaw. A two-axis gimbal leaves yaw to the aircraft, which shows as side-to-side movement in video.
Brushed or brushless gimbal?
Brushless gimbals respond faster and run smoother; brushed gimbals are simpler and are found on small, light payloads.
Can I fit a different camera to a gimbal camera?
Usually not: integrated gimbal cameras are tuned for their own camera. Bare gimbals are made to carry a camera you choose.
