Any good, inexpensive gimbal stabilizer?
I can't pay a fortune and well... I need stability.
I'm looking for one for Point & shoot camera or DSLR (not cellphones) so this makes it harder.

Any ideas?

Going to give you an answer you don't want to hear. Inexpensive and gimbal are mutually-exclusive. With gimbals you get exactly what you pay for.

HOWEVER, there are options people ignore such as inexpensive steady, stabilizer or fly rigs. I've actually made my own fly rigs out of hardware store parts. My favorite book on this is called "Killer Camera Rigs That You Can Build". The advantage to homemade is that you can adjust things to do exactly what you need them to do. I've actually placed "top 3" in multiple film competitions using equipment I built using this book.
