Those gyros *do* work; however, they are bulky and take some time to come up to speed. Talk about battery life - - -!!!!! You gotta' anticipate when you'll be using the gyro/camera about five to ten minutes in advance to let the gyro come up to full speed and provide its best stabilization. I used one of Ken's smallest gyros when I was trying to shoot objects from a Seine River tour boat. The resulting slides were appreciably clean - - but at what cost? Two pounds of gyro connected to the base plate of an M6. Yikes! George George Berger gberger@his.com
