Let me start off by disqualifying the Ronin or anything like it... I've used it, and I think it's god awful for hands on operation.

I can't contain my envy that the FS5 can balance in a Crane 2 :D but there's nothing similar for the FS7 is there? So where to go from here? Is the FS7 still stuck at a steadicam setup?
 
What about the original Letus Helix?

I don't have a FS7 but love using the (smaller) Letus Helix Junior with my Sony FS5.

I tried using a Letus Helix Magnesium with Encoders and it was a nightmare. the whole thing bent under the weight of a C300 Mark II which was well within the stated weight range. It was also really janky to operate and produced poor results (in spite of me being on Skype with the creators for hours on end).

In the end, I returned it and bought a used Movi M15 for $1900. It works beautifully.
