i have a video background, but i've shot a lot of 600-840mm sports stills with a fluid head on a tripod, i never understood why people want gimbals for stills.
fluid heads don't have to be heavy, i just got an e-image gh06 rig, looks like it has potential, although perhaps a bit too much friction on the first pan setting above zero.
I sold off two fluid heads - they simply don't have the easy maneuverability of gimbals, especially for BIFs when the monopod may be at head height , and camera bove that, to enable you to still comfortably see the screen without stooping (the VF is out of reach).
