By the way, I hate the term "WTF". Ever since kids started texting each other on flip phones, "WTF" came to represent very different words than those in my member name. I'm stubborn, and refuse to change my use, but it does cause some misunderstanding.

WTF! That’s cool. Steady cams are still in use, the gimbal hasn’t fully replaced it.
"Way to Fix". The "D" was originally "Dodge". Stems from my first real auto repair project in early 1960s. How was I to know Al Gore was going to come along and invent the internet? Nowdays, the "D" mostly stands for "Drone".
Way to Fly!WTF wireless transfer format?
Docdor wins the acronym renaming contest.
I never knew they existed! It seems like a clever idea; hybrid passive/active gimbal. They were supposed to be introduced in 4th quarter of 2016. But are they now or were they ever available for sale anywhere?
I tried to use a conventional passive "steadycam" with my Sony AX100 camcorder and found it way too frustrating. I couldn't get past the seasick inducing results. Now I use a Zhiyun Crane 2 active gimbal. It's much better but still requires skill to get good results. The biggest difficulty with these handheld gimbals is they can't correct for the natural up/down motion of walking. I really appreciate the super smooth video from the Typhoon H gimbal.
