    Gimbal cams (and many mirrorless cameras these days) auto-transfer recordings to the phone, so it should be nearly as frictionless as a phone recording.

    And gimbals are great for walking in particular, as they stabilize footage in a way a phone (and most ILCs) simply can’t.

    It does sound like it’d be overkill though.

      Yeahhhh, but auto-transfer would be annoying when I record 1TB+ of footage for a long-form video. I’d have to manually transfer, which is an extra step, and I’m not interested in that haha.

        …You record 1TB+ of footage on your phone?

        Well, IDK about your workload then, heh. But those pocket cams do record to microSD cards, FYI.

          No, when I’m filming the long format videos I get TBs on my cameras. I have an Insta360 Ace Pro II and X4. If I had them automatically dumping to my phone for the daily walks I record, I’d have to turn that feature off for the long form stuff so it doesn’t fill up my phone’s storage. If I got one of them famcy gimbal cameras, I’d definitely want to use it for the long-form stuff as well 'cause I know they can look really damn good.
