Camera that can help offset tremors? (lemmy.zip)

Are there any cameras that dont break the bank but also have decent stabilization? Ive used a tripod in the past with one of my dads old cameras (No idea what kind of Canon, but i know it used film). However, the tripod only helpped so much as the pictures were still blurry.

I've noticed recently that my tremmors have been getting worse. And would like to at least say I tried to get into this hobby before I'm unable to keep soup on my spoon.

There are definitely a number of motorized gimbals you can mount a camera to. Gives you more flexibility. Just need to rig up a remote shutter release.

    Forgive my ignorance, are gimbles quick to adjust angle? For example if i was taking pictures of a flower but then see a bird up a tree, can adjustments be made to angle the camera up? My understanding of gimbles is they jusy hold the camera level to the ground?

    Oh, they're highly configurable. I use a DJI video camera (tiny 4k camera on a stick), but I assume the larger SLR gimbals can do the same. You can hold a button to lock the angle to the stick, lock the angle to the environment, set it to only stabilize vertically (if you're tracking a laterally moving target), quickly re-center, and even tweak how quickly it responds to movement.

    Of course my gimbal has all the camera controls on the handle. Not sure how it'll work if you're using an SLR. Especially with manual zoom/focus. But it's a good start.
