FIMI PALM 2 gimbal: Still only 4K@30fps?
Xiaomi is about to release their second generation of FiMI Palm gimbal. Apparently, the FIMI PALM 2 is more just a facelift than a real upgrade compared to its predecessor. Also, featuring only 4K@30fps recording, can't be counted as DJI Pocket 2 alternative.

FiMI Palm review: Best 4K pocket gimbal under $200?
In order to begin my review honestly, we must admit that the FiMI Palm is not an innovative game-changer product.

But, if you dive deeper...

Xiaomi FiMI A3 review: Is it worth it?

Instead of a mechanical gimbal, the manufacturer opted for electronic image stabilization (EIS), which unfortunately has poor performance.
Compared to the...
