Looks like its driven by the mag - so it will just hold a particular compass heading.I was trying to convince my Mrs last night that we cant live without this gimbal control board, she eventually agreed. I must admit I like the camera lock, thats very impressive...but does it lock onto a target or just a direction???

Friends in Ohio are going for this with a Copterworks heli. It is not actually available yet. We will know more once the first eager batch of guinea-pigs and beta-testers ... I mean customers ... start giving some feedback.
Of course our number one priority is camera stabilisation but only three channels is a bit limiting. End-Point limits and RTH are too useful to not have. And, their magnetometer will probably suffer from the same problems as the PL if it is mounted on the same gimbal.
One possible reason for the Cineron's excellence could be the fact that it communicates with the heli FC IMU and is consequently better equipped to handle inertial stabilisation. Something that the standalone boxes have trouble with. It is one thing to be able to sense horizontal when stationary, it is something else to be able to determine horizontal when being subjected to centrifugal forces during a turn.
Yep - it seems to be a little limited. They should also be specific about its performance - for example, what's the sensitivity/range of the Gyro? Devices like this may be a god-send for owners of gimbal-challenged FCs, but I'm not sure it's going to advance the art of camera stabilisation
EDIT: oh, and I tend to distrust companies that can't spell
