Thankfully, the wearable action camera gimbal market has improved massively over the last few years and there are now a number of solid products on the market for very fair prices that will serve both you and your GoPro Hero 5 well.
We have decided to feature our two favorite wearable gimbals that will allow you to mount your GoPro Hero 5 on them without the need of picking up any additional accessories or mounts. Both of these products have a great reputation within the GoPro owning community with the first product being better overall but a little more expensive and the second product being cheaper with less functionality and performance.

The Removu S1
Over the years, the Removu S1 has also become a pretty popular gimbal and earned a number of reviews (click here to read some of them) from its userbase that we would also recommend that you read if you have the free time. The video footage below was recorded using the Removu S1 with a GoPro Hero 5 mounted on the handheld gimbal included with your purchase but still gives a great example of the type of image stabilization the gimbal head is able to offer you.
We feel that if you are looking for a cheap wearable gimbal that also includes a handheld gimbal system then the Removu S1 could be the choice for you provided you are aware of its battery life limitations. It is a great little stabilizer for GoPro Hero 5 cameras and will make a nice little addition to your camera accessories without needing you to spend a ton of money on your new toy.
