About gimbal hire

Hire gimbals in Melbourne for smooth, stabilised motion on everything from a mirrorless body to a built-up cinema camera. A motorised gimbal lets a single operator create flowing moves — follow shots, reveals and transitions — that would otherwise need a dolly or Steadicam.

We can match a gimbal to your camera's weight and balance it with the right lenses and accessories, or pair it with other camera stabilisers for the move you have in mind. Let us know your camera build and we'll confirm payload.

Frequently asked questions

Which gimbal do I need for my camera?

The right gimbal depends on the total weight of your camera, lens and accessories — every gimbal has a maximum payload. Tell us your full camera build and we'll recommend a model that handles it comfortably with room to balance.

How do I hire gear from Offshoot Rentals?

Add the gear you need to a quote, choose your hire dates, and we'll show you live availability. You'll need a free Offshoot account to generate and lock in a quote. For more information, see our help articles or contact us.

Is hired equipment insured?

You are responsible for the gear while it's in your care, so we recommend production or hirer's insurance for the replacement value of the kit. If you're unsure what cover you need for a particular package, get in touch and we'll talk it through before your shoot.

Do you offer weekend rates?

Yes. A weekend hire (collected Friday afternoon and returned Monday morning) is charged as a single day, so you get the weekend's shooting for one day's rate.

Can you deliver, or is it pickup only?

Pickup from our Preston facility is the default and is free. We can also arrange delivery and courier options — ask us for a delivery quote.
