Hey all, looking for a gimbal to use with my Samsung S25 FE. Planning on using it for filming car content. Don't need anything crazy expensive, aiming for around $150. Any recommendations for a decent, budget-friendly gimbal that works well with the S25 FE?

Exactly what I was thinking

Been there! I use a DJI Osmo Mobile SE with my older S21. Works well, especially with ActiveTrack. No complaints after a year of use, though always double-check your phone mount is secure before filming while driving. Seriously. Consider practicing in a parking lot first for safety.
Before buying, check your S25 FE's weight; some gimbals struggle above 230g. DJI OM series are popular, but verify compatibility. I'd suggest checking payload capacity *before* purchase. Some cheaper gimbals have weak motors; be careful with quick movements. Also, make sure to update the gimbal's firmware.
Forget fancy. Check used Zhiyun Smooth 4s. I snagged one for $75; works great with my older Samsung. Save the rest for gas!
Be careful using gimbals near traffic! DJI OM series is okay, but secure it *well*.
