Fold & Flip Phones
Ok, absolutely random thought, but what if Samsung made their own gimble? A lot of really good quality gimbles are made with iPhone in mind, and very few don't mention support for Android phones. For those of us that use Galaxy Zfolds, we don't have much access to gimbles, because of the phone style. So what if Samsung made their very own gimble, that actually works with foldables? I feel like it's time us Android users get access to good quality gimbles.

Most phone gimbles should work with any traditional slab phone. Because the z fold 7 is roughly the same size as the S25U, you should be able to purchase an adjustable gimble that will work with the phone while closed.
You may be able to use a magnetic case with a magsafe gimble to attach the device while unfolded. Make sure you have full faith in the strength of the magnets if you decide to go this route.
I would not anticipate that Samsung would release such a product as the S26U's horizon lock feature achieves much of what a gimble would have previously been required for.
Samsung is more likely to direct photography/videography-minded users toward an Ultra device and productivity-minded users toward a fold.

Get a gimbal made for tablets, if available. The Fold is not a conventional phone, but a tablet with a hinge and radio modem built in. The gimbal can be any brand. And make sure the clamp portion runs across, or parallel with, the hinge when unfolded. BTW, I discovered that tablet accessories work great with my Fold 5. The landscape width, when unfolded, is approximately the size of an iPad Mini.
