@DMZ: Yes, expensive.
Some idea about the others gimbal (no expensive) of Supamods?
MOZA is selling for $2,245.00 on https://www.supamods.com/. Upgrades (battery, stronger motors) are quite expensive.
The Moza look like a great option.
DJI Thumb controller
A pressure-sensitive stick is combined with a clear OLED display, bringing a new level of control to Ronin users.
The 2.4GHz Wireless Ronin Thumb Controller offers an easy, intuitive interface for controlling the motions of your Ronin. A pressure-sensitive control system gives you precise control, while an integrated OLED display shows your current settings and allows you to quickly change between settings profiles. All Thumb Controller settings are configurable through built-in menu system.
A built-in rechargeable battery offers all-day operation. The Thumb Controller also comes with an external 2.4GHz receiver, enabling dual control via the thumb controller and the separate Ronin remote controller.
Don't know if this one was shown here (or if it is good): 3-axis, with motors, controller and remote, US$ 770,99
A PVC gimbal from Dicky Kwok.
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).
Such things are risky. They clearly use usual Chinese hardware, but no one knows drives quality and if it works ok.
This Supamods unit had already appeared here? 3kg rated, $849.

Not really. I have not balanced other 3 axis gimbals, but the 7800 is pretty straightforward. Easier (by far IMHO) than a Steadicam Merlin.
Is the 7800 a pain to balance?
Thank you Vitaliy.
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.
Came 7800 v Varavon Birdycam 2. Does anyone have any idea how they compare? The 7800 is about 30% cheaper in the UK and looks like it is a pretty decent piece of kit. Just wondering if there is a good reason to spend the extra for the Varavon?
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.
