Gimbals are approved. Someone mentioned this above, referring to them as “stabilizers”. They help to make better quality video from your phone by balancing your phone so it does not shake as much. You can also use it like a selfie stick to take still photos, it just doesn’t extend quite as long. We brought our gimbal last year and security saw it and most of the time they quickly passed us through. However, a few times my husband had to explain to them that it was a gimbal and not a selfie stick that fully extended and they almost were not going to let him bring it in. If you just want a selfie stick for group pictures, is it really necessary? Anywhere there is a cast member photographer, they will also use your cell phone to take a picture for you, if you ask them. Having a gimbal makes security take longer, especially if they question the item like they did to us.
