Umqondo wegimbal uhlehlela emuva ekuqaleni kwekhulu le-19, lapho indoda yaseNgilandi okuthiwa uFrancis Westley isungula i-“gimbal”, ibhola elakhiwe ngezimbulunga ezintathu ezazikwazi ukuzungeza ngokukhululeka kunoma iyiphi indlela. Kodwa-ke, lo mklamo awuzange usetshenziswe kakhulu ngenxa yokuthi wawumba eqolo ukuwukhiqiza futhi ukungqubuzana phakathi kwezimbulunga kwenza ukunyakaza kungabi bushelelezi.
Kwaze kwaba ngasekuqaleni kwekhulu lama-20 lapho umsunguli waseMelika eqhamuke nomklamo omusha owawunamasondo amane, ngalinye linesondo elincane elihambisana nendiza yesondo, okuvumela yonke idivayisi ukuba ihambe noma ikuphi. Lo mklamo waziwa ngele-“Omni Wheel” futhi ungomunye wabanduleli besondo lendawo yonke.
Ngawo-1950, unjiniyela we-NASA u-Harry Wickham wasungula isondo le-gimbaled elingcono nakakhulu elalinamadiski amathathu, ngalinye linomugqa wamasondo amancane avumela yonke idivayisi ukuthi ihambe noma yikuphi. Lo mklamo waziwa ngokuthi "isondo le-Wickham" futhi uyisisekelo se-gimbal yesimanje.

Ngokungeziwe emikhakheni yezimboni neyerobhothi, ama-gimbal nawo asetshenziswe abanye abaculi ukwenza imizamo yokudala. Isibonelo, umdwebi wokudlala u-Ai Weiwei usebenzise izigigaba ekufakeni kwakhe ubuciko. Umsebenzi wakhe "i-Vanuatu gimbal" i-gimbal enkulu enobubanzi obungamamitha amahlanu, okuvumela izethameli ukuba zihambe ngokukhululekile kuyo.
