Thinking of getting this for birding with the Sony 200-600. I wonder how this compares to the higher end gimbals on the market.
This may work just fine. But if you're going to be doing lots of hiking I'd suggest springing for something lighter. I'm out shooting wildlife almost every day and it's not uncommon that I'll end up hiking 5-6 miles. I recently switched from an Indurp gbh2 to a mongoose. The 1.5 pounds I knocked off is very noticeable and my shoulders thank me. Of course I'm carrying a Canon 600mm isii and 1dx, if I was using a lighter lens a heavier gimbal wouldn't matter.
edit: mbnw weighed this and it is only 1.9 lbs, so I think the weight on this is quite good. If you don't own a gimbal I would suggest getting this.

If you shoulders carry the weight of your backpack you should get a better backpack with a hip strap.

I'm usually walking with my lens/body mounted to the tripod, slung over my shoulder. You have to be ready to shoot wildlife. I only use a backpack when doing landscape.

He set it up wrong though. It's for taking photos for the most part though when using a tripod.
edit: the video has a slightly different model (side mount vs bottom mount)

Why did he set up wrong?
