I have been using the MonoGimbal (and early prototypes) for a very long time (in fact I helped develop it)
Yes it does everything the reviewers claim, and makes using a long k ok end a lot easier.
It also does a lot more stuff the reviewers have not yet discovered.
It can be used with a monopod pouch or flag carrier such as Annin 660018 for a whole new world of uses!
It can also be mounted and balanced while the camera is put down and the monopod is still folded (this makes set up super simple)
Hopefully some of these additional functions will be discovered for future videos.
if you use a long lens with lens ring, you will want the MonoGimbal
P.S. Use with a monopod that is rated 3x the weight of your equipment, and is tall enough for your comfort. The MonoGimbal will not add much height to the monopod.
