Anyone tracking good camera gimbal deals for Black Friday & Cyber Monday 2025? I’m looking for a compact gimbal mainly for mirrorless (Sony A7 series) and maybe occasionally for a smartphone. I’ve had my eye on the DJI RS series and the Zhiyun Weebill/Crane lines, but I’m not sure which brands usually get the deepest discounts during these sales. Budget is around $300–$500, and I don’t mind buying last year’s model if the deal is good. Does anyone remember what kind of gimbal discounts we saw in previous years, and are there any specific models or stores you’re planning to watch this year?

Yeah, those stores are definitely the big ones to watch. Honestly, if youre shooting on a Sony A7 series, you dont necessarily need to drop $800 on the latest flagship. From what ive seen in past years, the "last-gen" models are where the real value is. Id keep a close eye on the DJI RS 3 or the DJI RS 3 Mini if you wanna keep the weight down. DJI usually knocks a solid 15-20% off during Black Friday, which should put the RS 3 right in your $400-ish sweet spot. If you want even more bang for your buck, the Zhiyun Weebill 3S is a killer option. Zhiyun usually gets way more aggressive with their discounts than DJI, so you might see that bundled with a bunch of accessories for under $300. One thing to watch out for is the "Combo" vs "Standard" packages. Tbh, it’s almost always worth spending the extra $50 during a sale to get the briefcase handle and extra cables. Also, keep an eye on B&H’s "DealZone"—they sometimes have insane one-day flash sales on gimbals like the FeiyuTech SCORP-C which is a great budget alternative for mirrorless setups. Just make sure whatever you get has a high enough payload for your heaviest lens!

Honestly, be careful with those massive discounts you see on the big days. I've been burned before by brands that claim high payload capacities but the motors start vibrating like crazy after a month. Unfortunately, some of the newer, cheaper brands just aren't as good as expected when it comes to long-term reliability. A few things to keep in mind:
- Use price trackers like camelcamelcamel to see the actual price history. Companies love to inflate prices right before the sale to make the discount look bigger.
- Just stick with anything from DJI if you want something that actually stays balanced. You cant go wrong with their stabilization tech and the app actually works, unlike some of the budget competitors.
- Check the used or open-box sections on B&H or Adorama. Most people return gimbals because they're too lazy to balance them, not because the gear is broken. I've had issues with the motors on off-brands failing mid-shoot, so dont risk your A7 just to save fifty bucks. Go with an established brand and you'll be much safer.
