Unless you really need the weight capacity, I'd looks at the RS 3, non-pro. I upgraded from RSC2 to RS3 (non-pro) and the usability improvements, like locking the gimble with a single button press and folding the gimbal automatically on power-off, are incredible. It handles my Sony a7 IV with 12-24mm GM in a half-cage like a champ. Also not needing to plug in the cable is so nice.
If you really need the weight capacity of the pro model, this is a great deal.

Your comments on the RS3 non-pro, and your personal experience is great input.
As for THIS dealโฆ oof, not good. Adorama beat this by $240 a month ago. One of the funny things about SD is quoting past deals and someone says, "do you have a time machine?"
This was JUST RECENTLYโฆ way, way less. Personally I'd wait it out. With the RS3 and Proโฆ the previous gen will repeat a better sale than thisโฆ up until they're almost gone. At this sale price you're almost the same difference $-wise to the 3Pro Combo as the difference in price for this exact listing a month ago.
If the site was called "buy it if you need it" I'd save my commentโฆ but I'm a bit surprised to see +6 TU on something that's 50% more $ than it was 4 weeks ago.

EDIT: Uhโฆ actually just 2 weeks ago.
While I agree that there was a better price at ONE TIME a few months ago and this is only $30 from the price it's been for several monthsโฆa "few months" IS the PAST and unless you DO HAVE A TIME MACHINE this is the CURRENT best price.

Not a few months agoโฆ and not just a better priceโฆ $240 better, 12 days before my reply.
Previous gear generations are like stocksโฆ the time machine comments are akin to telling people to "buy the peak" instead of "buy the dip"โฆ if "buy high, since you don't have a time machine" is good advice hereโฆ they need to change the site name.
The opening post where it normally says "$10 less than previous front page"โฆ could say, "Only $240 higher than 12 days ago".
I say "buy the dip" not the peak. Considering the price just recently CRUSHED this dealโฆ either get an RS3โฆ or wait.
