      The gimbal makes good sense if you have GoPro Hero 5 or earlier generation; Everything above Hero 6 has pretty good stabilization. Unless you plan to use filters... 😎

      The Pro 1 has a bit weaker motors, and looks like the algorithm on the Pro 2 is better - seems to have less shakes; At least that's how I felt. Difference is not that big; Waterproofness is also a thing.
