CAME has been steadily refining their camera gimbals, trying to find a balance between price and performance. The CAME-7800 is one of these models, and the newer 32-bit technology means better precision and smoother shots, while being able to take cameras under 7 pounds. The gimbal has normally retailed for almost $1,700, but there has been a price reduction, taking it down an extra $300. And until February 10th, NFS readers will save even more:
