Good find. I'm actually interested to see if anyone tried either the Nebula5200PRO or the upcoming CAME 8000. Both can handle a BMCC or a RED, which is good for future upgrade/rentals:

I've been asked a couple times by people about the Allsteady5. I figured I'd post a public retort for anyone else who's curious.

I had it for awhile, yes. It was a pain to stabilize. The company itself was no help – it came with no instructions, and when I did talk to them (and they didn't hang up on me), they just sent me a video of a DJI Ronin being stabilized and told me to try to do it like that. I don't know if I'm particularly bad at that initial setup or what, but when I did get it to work the up-down movement in my walking was still very apparent. I couldn't get it to be steady on that axis no matter what I tried.

The only way to turn it on/off was connecting/disconnecting the battery, and the connection was a pain to pull apart. With how thin and weak the cable connections were, there's no way that thing would have lasted being on a set and being pulled apart continuously.

Finally, when it was all set, sometimes it would take a couple seconds for the motors to engage, sometimes it would take 10 minutes... I don't know what to say.

I really wanted the thing to work – it would have been so cool, but I returned it and they charged me like a 20 or 30 percent restock fee... so I lost a good bit of money.

Just wondering if there is a good reason to spend the extra for the Varavon?

Yep - construction, firmware and balancing. If you want to use gimbal frequently - it is better to get Varavon.

Is the 7800 a pain to balance?

This Supamods unit had already appeared here? 3kg rated, $849.

Some people say that DYS Eagle Eye is the same CAME 7000 for less money. This rumor is real? I would not rule it out, is a normal practice in this globalized world; like the Seat Leon and VW Golf that are in principle the same car with some variations (for example).
