Morning -looking for suggestions

Ive a GoPro session that is IMHO a nice piece of kit for the price. Having spent too long on youtube it seems to me that one way of getting footage away from from amateur shaky to something a bit more 'quality' is to use a motorised gimbal. The GoPro OEM offer gets mixed reviews. Im looking for something sub £300. Any recommendations or other advice?

Following as I have just ordered a session 5 too. I ordered a gimbal from ebay (Chinese £70 hobby) to use with my hero 3+ but found that the weight of the camera made the gimbal "droop" when going over bumps. I'm hoping with the weight saving of the session I can get it to work on the bike.

Just bought a Feiyu Tech g5 for my go pro and it’s a lovely bit of kit for the money. The only negative is the microphones on the camera pick up the motor noise but as I don’t record sound much anyway, it’s not an issue for me.

It’s a full 3 axis gimbal with some nice features and it’s rainproof which is nice. It can also charge the camera if necessary.

Got mine for a little over £100 which I think is a good deal. The karma grip is a lot more expensive and also larger and heavier.

My Removu S1 arrived today... it seems very nice although I've not used it much yet. It is very quiet though.

My reason for choosing this one is that it seems much more capable at being mounted on cars/bikes/my cats head/ rather than handheld - we shall see!
