I'll get a gimbal, especially because I also fly an octocopter.
But it's not a replacement for a steadicam. The good thing about it, it's small and easy to handle. The "bad" thing is, that you can't pan or tilt quickly, since it's "stabilizing" the movement.
I would invest first in a steadicam, because they have been in development for a long time. Brushless gimbals are doing their first baby steps.
Anyway, I wouldn't buy a gimbal right now (not in the next 3 months)... there might be a better option out soon ;-)
