First look at the Exo (ExoSkeleton) camera gimbal support system

There are body-supported mechanical rigs for around $5,000. Others use Easy-Rig or Atlas with a standard 3-Axis gimbal for roughly the same effect and for ... uhm, slightly less.
 
the design looks logical and well thought out. not cheap but looks like it would work very good and have to consider that the "gimbal" is built in which usually cost 2-5k so the overall price doesn't seem to high anymore.

only real negative is that its very wide and going thru hallways and thru doorways doesn't look practical at all. thats enough reason for me to not consider it.

well, upon further review it doesn't look like the gimbal is included.

Looks great except for use in hallways, doorways, squeezing by crowds/extras/actors.. to me it seems impractical but that's just me.

One thing a friend of mine tested recently was a MOVI mounted on a Steadicam with RED Scarlet, and the footage was quite smooth and amazing, still all while maintaining a thin profile and excellent maneuverability.
 
Tons of footage of people walking around with the system, but not much of the resulting footage, and what little I have seen looks pretty bad, though it could be attributed to poor operator skill in regards to framing, lead room, etc. The operator keeps seeming to be walking around like crazy to try to demonstrate the maneuverability (or lack thereof) with the system instead of trying to display butter smooth shots that could theoretically be achieved. I'd like to see a demo video of footage from the device without any footage of the operator walking around.
 
This is sort of/kind of similar from Ready Rig. Now, if they can get the vertical stabilization via a gimbal rather than via rods and/or bunge cords.

All of this stuff looks so rad!
There is just one question I keep asking my self why not just use a steadi cam?

Actually, a cable cam will give you the smoothest footage, presuming you know where to move it beforehand.
