I've also read that EIS has become so good that a gimbal isn't necessarily needed i.e. Gopro Hero late iterations. Watched a youtube review comaparing & contrasting the performance of the EIS on the Hero Black with that of an actual gimbal; granted the guy didn't go through a comprehensive testing, but he walked around, jogged, jumped etc., & placed the resultant footage side by of the parallel filming to elaborate his opinion; which was it was sufficient (the EIS) to use that solely, sans gimbal. Actually, I think it was an Osmo Pocket cam which has integrated gimbal & EIS; but the gist is the same from other readings: EIS has pretty much arrived for solely image stabilization. The gimbal (Osmo Mobile 3) does have nice features like panning, object tracking, time lapse, hyper lapse that, paired with the MIMO app, give a decent working sandbox for on-the-go editing processing & sharing along with several other nice features.
