The CameTV 7800 is a lightweight gimbal stabilizer that produces stable footage on a budget. I compare it to the Ronin only because of it's multiple operational modes, but really, the CameTV 7800 isn't designed to handle larger, heavier camera setups like the Ronin. However, it does have some excellent features that many filmmakers are looking for -- sure, its low price, but also its ease of use and versatility.
CheesyCam reviewed the 7800 and put together a couple of videos to show you to what this gimbal stabilizer can do:

The CameTV 7800 is one of the most affordable gimbals out there right now. They've even lowered the price a little bit for the month of November, so you can now get your hands on one for $1298. To learn more about this stabilizer, check out the CameTV website.
