These gimbals are just two axis hinges that eliminate any control over pitch and roll, place a tremendous amount of stress on the wrist, and produce pendulum effects when you move (from not being at the center of gravity).
A gimbal is not critical to the existence of a steadycam and I personally dislike them.
