What the thread found

• Weight ratings for stabilizer rigs refer to maximum camera payload capacity, not just the arm alone
• The payload weight must account for the camera body plus all attached accessories, as well as the sled, monitor, batteries, follow focus device, and video transmitter if used
• The Sony DSR 370 is a relatively large and heavy camera that may exceed the capacity of lighter stabilizer models
• The Glidecam V-25 series has greater payload capacity than the Steadicam Flyer-LE and is better suited for heavier camera bodies
• The Steadicam Flyer was reported to have smooth gimbal performance and good boom range with comfortable weight distribution

Depends on

• User experience based on one person's trial of the Steadicam Flyer from approximately one year prior to 2008
• No definitive technical specifications provided comparing the two models directly
• The specific weight of the Sony DSR 370 with a wide-angle adapter was not calculated in the discussion
