Gimbals or something like that

I been having a look for some sort of stability for my Camcorder, a nice 3 axis gimble would be nice, but for anything that copes with anything more than a smart phone or go pro the prices are pretty high, I would go to a couple of hundred, but some are looking at around £500 or more.

I have seen one of these in use, it is amazing, but that was over 3 grand and could cope with a large camcorder.

I have seen stabilisers that is just a long bar with some weights on the bottom, I wonder what sort of job they will do. My camcorder is a just a small home type camcorder.
