Im looking to get a gimbal for my gopro and it has to be mountable so I can hopefully stabalize mountain biking videos. I havent found any that seem like they would be compatible with a chest mount(if any exist?) and I also cant decide if 3 axis is neccassary or if one or two would work fine? anybody have experience with gimbals and could help me find one

I think the karma grip is what you're looking for. It's a little steep tho at $300

Tons of people use the Feiyu tech wearable gimbal for mtb. It's 3 axis and compatible with Go pro chest mount. It's the most popular gimbal for mtb by far, though you can't use the protective housing

Do you have any experience with the Feiyu? I looked at it and the reveiws on amazon scared me away from it heard alot about a wire breaking even though it seems it can be fixed id rather not spend the money knowing ill need to fix it

Looking into one, would like a review between this and the Karma Grip
