[QUOTE="danazar, post: 775275, member: 49939"] The Z6 is a wonderful camera, and more compact than any full-frame DSLR... but it's still solid. The larger and heavier the body+lens combo, the harder it will be to balance on a gimbal. Just a word of advice to consider. It will be lighter than a DSLR and F-mount lens, but you'll still want a solid gimbal that's up to the weight, and also to spend time practicing getting the weight balance right.
