I'm actually not open to gimbals before so I made 2 glidecams than to buy them.
I am curious about the gimbals.

is it worthy to buy gimbals? some said that gimbals has an electric motor so will it make it so expensive?

A gimbal mount has nothing to do with motors, rather it's construction (where the axis of rotation is such a way as to have the sensor facing the center of a sphere rather than the outside)

There are some geared and motorized gimbal mounts, especially for telescopes, and yes, you're looking at >300 for decent motorized one (though they can go over 1k easily)

ah thanks do you think gimbals are better for long for long hours of shooting?

Again, depends on what you're shooting and how. If you have no issues with your current tripod head, why spend more money?

ah alright. I will actually shoot an hour footage by gliding.

More than a gimbal, you need a shock mounted camera for that . BH might have something, but most likely you'll need to see a specialist
