I am soooo fed up looking at these videos where folks are throwing these stabilisers about like they are wrestling a giant metal bird.
Seriously! Real world movements are plenty!
And another thing - having a 3-axis brushless system doesn't mean you don't have to bother with any personal effort! You can still move smoothly and subtly and step softly!
I'm just having one of those days when the web is driving my mad.
I watched a reputable company rep on a NAB video demonstrating their device. He said, "As you can see the lens looks straight ahead completely unaffected by my movements!" THE DAMN THING WAS IN FOLLOW MODE AND MOVED ALONG WITH HIM ON AVERY LEFT AND RIGHT MOVEMENT! The fact that he said the opposite to what most people were viewing would obviously lead some people to believe it wasn't functioning as intended!!
Idiots.
