If you want perfect stabilization, you may want to go for a gimbal.

are those small one hand gimbals are good enough or you really need a big gimbal to see a different?

Others please step in. I have never owned a gimbal. Family movies only.

Btw, here's my baseline for X-T4 and similar model movie recording, https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/66779528

That's a nice write up. I rented the Ronin RSC 2 to use with my X-H1. I was impressed by how well it worked. There's a learning curve on how to get the smoothest footage using it.

I've been using 16mm movie cameras since the 1960's and some tricks I picked up along the way helped. I can actually shoot steady footage with the H1 as long as they are camera static shots. Gimbals really help when the camera is moving.
