Hey Chris, when you insert the metal SteadyShot into the harness at the 2:15 mark of this video, you're inserting it *upside down*. The curved black metal end of the SteadyShot should be on *top* and closest to your chin. You have the curved end down, closer to your stomach. It does matter, and this is part of the reason the SteadyShot seems a little loose and floppy to you. I made the same mistake, not because of your video, just randomly. Cotton Carrier's instructions could be clearer, but study their photos carefully, and you'll see it. Of course if you turn your SteadyShot bracket 180 degrees, curved end up, you then have to reconfigure the SteadyShot arms 180 degrees in the other direction as well, but that's easy to do. My SteadyShot got jammed in the harness upside down, and I had to use a screwdriver to leverage the hub away from the harness while pulling up sharply on the SteadyShot to free it, but it works great now.
Also, the directions in the background at the start of the video, bottom of the page, show the correct orientation; it's mechanically and ergonomically more efficient and also places the adjustment levers at the right hand (photography is always a challenge for lefties).
Can one use this to hold a 3-axis DSLR gimbal stabilizer?
You can probably connect the two, but I don't think you'd like the stability of the result. It works best with limited height added between SteadyShot and camera body, as with an Arca or Manfrotto clamp or a small, light ballhead at most. With a bigger ballhead, I found it unwieldly, and the gimbal device would be taller than that. You may not like the results with really heavy glass like a 600mm f/4, either. With a 70-200 f/2.8-sized lens and a more compact mount, it's fine.
does this work with a Tamron 200-600 g2 lens for my NikonD7500
no, it does not! Sorry to say. Some will tell you otherwise, not sure why.
