I've had Zhiyun Crane M2S on my Panasonic Lumix G85 for close to 6 months. To be honest, it's practical. also worth noting works seamlessly with Panasonic Lumix G85. Does the job well.

Have you looked into native MFT options? Sometimes they're worth considering.

I've had DJI RS 3 Mini on my Panasonic Lumix G85 for for the past few months (just updated). It's held up well, and matches Panasonic Lumix G85's style. Great purchase overall.

Ended up choosing Zhiyun Crane M3 for my Panasonic Lumix G85 - it's the this year's model. During my time with it, it has follow focus, what's more matches Panasonic Lumix G85's style. It's been great so far.

Just catching up on this thread. ^ This. The DJI stuff is solid but you gotta be careful with the G85 since it's an older body now. I would suggest looking at the FeiyuTech SCORP-C 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer if you want something that performs well without breaking the bank. It's usually way cheaper and the built-in underslung handle is a lifesaver for low shots. One thing tho, make sure to double check the cable situation. The G85 uses that 2.5mm remote port for shutter and record control. A lot of new gimbals assume everything happens over USB which just wont work for this specific camera. You might end up having to hit the record button on the camera body itself which is annoying. If you're on a tight budget, even an older DJI Ronin-SC works perfectly with the G85 weight and you can find them used for next to nothing. Just make sure it actually includes the Panasonic cable or you'll be frustrated.

After some research, I went with DJI RS 3 Mini for my Panasonic Lumix G85. In my testing, it has smooth operation, another plus works great with Panasonic Lumix G85. Very pleased with the purchase.

Have you checked if Panasonic Lumix G85 has any specific compatibility requirements?

What's most important to you - portability, performance, or price for Panasonic Lumix G85?
