COMPARISONS 
Many people ask what my most recommended stabilizer is. Here's the list with my favorites first. There are reviews about most of these on my channel. 
● Glidecam HD - Expensive with lots of build issues but flies really well. After a custom gimbal calibration I can get better extreme tilts with this. No need for oil change. My choice of stabilizer. 
● Monocam CF Pro - No issues and flies great. Benefits from an oil change.
● Xcam Sabre CF - Has minor build issues but flies great. May a tiny bit slower to balance due to it's tiny size. Benefits from an oil change.
● Glidecam iGlide - Really usable for tiny cameras after my two hacks, and really cheap. Benefits from an oil change.
● Laing P-03 - Very nice. No build issues. Flies well. Benefits from an oil change.
● Wondlan - High quality but I've not used it enough to say conclusively.
● Wieldy - Good, but the Laing has improvements over this. Benefits from an oil change.
● Xcam I and II (not Sabre) - Super compact (will fit in most lens compartments) but not quite as good as the bigger and more expensive ones. Benefits from an oil change.
● Steadicam Merlin - Expensive and harder to balance and control. I might review this at some point. 
● Flycam Nano, 5000, etc - Lots of faulty units, no fine adjustment knobs, you get what you pay for.
● S40 / S60 / Pergear / etc - Extremely cheap and you get what you pay for. Personally I'd rather stabilize my camera with a big block of cheese. lol
