SteadyMaker Gimbal?

Has anyone heard anything or used one before?

Their prices are really cheap and they seem legit, I just haven't seen any videos convincing me fully that the gimbals are on par with others.


On another note, I was looking at the Beholder DS1, but the maximum weight is 3.7 pounds and I'm looking to fly a 5D III with a Tokina 16-28 (3.96 pounds) is it possible it would still work? :huh:

In my opinion you lose too much trying to put a big heavy camera on a single-handle gimbal. You get the best/easiest operation with a camera that is light enough that it's closer to half the rated payload of the gimbal and that is small enough that 360deg rotation in every direction is not obstructed.

I'm open to getting non pistol grip style gimbal, but they all seem to be more expensive. Plus I'm going to be shooting interiors of yachts (tight spaces) a lot so having a smaller setup appeals to me.
