I was thinking about taking my GoPro camera this trip, and just recently bought a 9 inch gimbal. Does Disney allow them inside the parks? It doesn't extend so were not it selfie stick territory. If anyone knows, I'd love an answer. Thanks.

My daughter used a chest harness and I saw somebody with a head band. I'm afraid I don't know what a "gimbal" is. Sorry

The gimbal mounts are hand held and "stick like" so I think I would check with guest relations before attempting to bring them in. Short Selfie stick with three axis motion control.
A gimbal is a device that stabilizes your camera check it out here, that is the same one I have in this video

Just an update, I was watching Kyle's yourtube vlog Viewfromthecheapseats from Saturday and he actually filmed someone having their gimbal mount being tagged at the security checkpoint for retrieval when they exit. So its a thing. If its stick like its not permitted.

As with most things that we question on whether we can bring it in, it depends on the security guard.
UPDATE. I had no problem bringing a gimbal in to any of the parks. As long as it doesn't extend you will have no problem.
It was great! I am gonna get to use it more in a few weeks, but I used it on seven dwarfs mine train, and it turned out GREAT! There is a video on my youtube channel if you are interested. I cant wait to do more videos like this!

You don't mean that you've used a dolly in the parks, do you? I've wanted to for a while but never saw anyone else try it.

Keyword "Artificial" You can lock the gimbal to a certain axis and no mater your movements it won't change. If you walk smoothly enough you can get a half decent dolly shot from it. It's not as perfect as an actual dolly but close enough in a portable package.
