I actually just discovered that these types of tripod exists. They have a pistol grip and usually underneath it is a ball to allow movement.
I was just thinking, I can actually use this for Video too since in a way they can work like a gimball? But somehow i cant seem to find videos on youtube that shows how this is compared to a proper gimball. Hahah maybe it doesnt work as good that why ppl nv even try lol. Anyways dont you guys think the mechanism is the same? There's weights at the bottom The ball is for smooth movement, then the pistol grip i feel does help with stabilization in a way. Mayeb the only problem is that you can bring the camera low for a low angle video since there are the long tripod legs lol.
PISTOL GRIP

TRADITIONAL GIMBAL
