Do you use a Gimbal? Which would you recommended?

Some research brought up DJI OM series 4, but it's difficult to tell if it would work with iPhone 12 Pro. It uses a magnetic clamp that is framed for rounded edges, not squared. The clamp also only works for no or slim-case iPhones too, which is a bummer. DJI OM 3 is another option. And there's also other brands such as Zhiyun and Moza. DJI seem to be one of the top rated ones.

I'm looking for a gimbal that further improves iPhone 12/12Pro's video stabilization features for vlogging family trips (no YouTube, just home family videos for memories). Bonus points if the gimbal has a "selfile stick" mechanism, but great without it too.

Recommendations would greatly be appreciated.
 
Have an OM4 at home, it's going back tomorrow.

- Doesn't hold the 12 Pro in an Apple silicone case well. This alone is a dealbreaker. For 12 Pro Max it's not even close. The clasp simply isn't made for straight edge phones and needs a redesign.
- Doesn't record in HDR/HEVC, but some weird mp4 format.

Had OM2, too weak servos for 12 Pro.
