EOS M is an entry level system. I won't expect it to get good video feature especially when video feature is a money grab spec now.

Unless you are pro, just get the M + Magic Lantern + stabilizer. This package should be more than enough for amateur and very very cheap.

At best, Magic Lantern is a kludge.  Fancy new firmware won't change the fact that you are working with a sensor that is a decade old and has very slow readout speeds.  Pretty much any reasonably modern 4k capable camera, even a smartphone, will produce better results with far less effort.

If someone already has an original M and want to play around with Magic Lantern, great.  To suggest that someone should seek out an original M solely for the purpose of going down the Magic Lantern rabbit hole is just a really bad idea.
