Stabilizers for mirrorless setups

So I'm looking for a stabilizer to use with my Sony A7. I've filmed quite a bit with a tripod but I haven't really ever filmed with a stabilizer such as a flycam, glidecam, etc. What would you mirrorless people recommend as far as a stabilizer for my A7? I'll mainly be filming with a 28mm prime so it's a pretty light setup. My budget is anywhere up to the $350 range.

Gildecam for sure, I have a GH4 and I love it, you can ask almost any one here and they will say the same

filming with a glidecam and a 28mm prime lens would be tough, get a wide angle...then a glidecam will be money

the A7 has a 35mm sensor so 28mm is actually decently wide. I shoot with a 35mm lens on my A7Sii 80% of the time I'm on a glidecam/gimbal and its not restricting at all. The ultra ultra wide look is wack if you use it for most of your shots, just use it sparingly to emphasize foreground to background when needed
