Re: Portability with a 3-axis gimbal

I have the BeSteady One, got it even before the M5 came out, it is good but the company services sucks so don't get it, there are plenty now that are better and cheaper.:-)

This severely limits my ability to shoot instantly when I see something whilst walking.

Hey Clive, by the way, have you considered a steadicam solo or steddiepod or similar "bastardized" device?
