Our editorial take on the CAME-TV Optimus 3-Axis Camera Gimbal

The CAME-TV Optimus 3-Axis Camera Gimbal is designed for operators seeking single-hand control of smaller to medium-sized DSLR and mirrorless cameras. Its design places controls and the battery outside the handle, which may contribute to balance and maneuverability during operation. The gimbal offers full 360-degree rotation across its axes and provides up to 10 hours of battery life, making it suitable for extended shoots.

Key features include a wireless joystick remote for precise control and tool-less adjustments for efficient camera balancing. With dual handle and single handle weight options, it offers flexibility for different shooting scenarios. The 2.6 lb (1.1 kg) payload capacity means it is not intended for heavier cinema camera setups but should accommodate many popular hybrid cameras.

Given its feature set and payload, the Optimus positions itself as a versatile option for content creators who prioritize portability and ease of use in a three-axis stabilization system.

Best for: This gimbal is best for videographers and content creators using smaller DSLR or mirrorless camera setups who prioritize single-hand operation and extended battery life.
What's great
  • Single-hand operation with relocated controls and battery for potentially improved handling
  • Full 360-degree rotation on all axes
  • Long battery life of up to 10 hours
  • Includes a wireless joystick remote for operational flexibility
  • Tool-less adjustments for quick camera balancing
Watch outs
  • Relatively low maximum payload of 2.6 lb (1.1 kg) limits camera compatibility
  • Battery capacity of 800 mAh is modest for a device with a 10-hour stated life, suggesting very low power draw
  • Package weight of 13.5 lb is significant despite the gimbal's operational weight
