The G6 Plus boasts a max load capacity of 1.76 lbs, making your G7X’s weight a breeze to stabilize for the gimbal. You’ll get 8-12 hours of battery life easily, and it takes less than 4 hours to fully charge, which is great.

Both the hardware and software of G6 Plus stimulate high-quality image stabilization. Similar to the Zhiyun Crane V2, the control system is pretty easy to manage; i.e., you can access most of your gimbal’s functions with your thumb.

In terms of design and build quality, the G6 Plus works like a charm with the gimbal coming in at only 1.46 lbs, making it super convenient to hold for a longer period.

#5: Moza Aircross 3

And last but not least, the Moza Aircross 3 can both work as a gimbal for Canon G7X Mark ii and for heavy mirrorless cameras.

It comes with a much higher payload (3.9 lbs) than other options listed in this article—this makes mounting your G7X to the Aircross 3 a breeze. When it comes to battery life, you get 12 hours of running time and it takes about 4 hours to fully recharge.

The control system is identical to the ones mentioned above, and the build quality is top-notch, given that it’s built for use with a mirrorless camera. While I’d highly recommend buying any of the first three products listed, the Aircross 3 is by no means a cheap option.
