I mean, even if you're someone who doesn't need it, surely you can think of travel photographers and videographers who very clearly have use for it?

I guess I don't have enough imagination.  How anything can be easier than carrying and swapping in spare batteries is hard for me to imagine.  Consider that no proper videographer would use this camera too shoot such long continuous shots that they can't stop and change a battery.

Yea, I get it.  You made an overly complicated solution work.  Celebrate that tour-de-force.  And move on.  Maybe make a complex servo activated multi-axis accelerometer driven anti-shake platform.  Maybe use an arduino to run it - practice C programming to boot.

After all, gyro stabilized or inertia steady cam platforms are analog and so old school, aren't they?
