In filmmaking, there's a space for a relatively small and potentially cheap(er) hybrid manual/motion control grip unit. Something between a panther dolly (no tracks), a crane and a milo motion control with a stabilised head. If you're into robotics, this is your space. Companies have started to work on these issues, but part at a time (like DJI's Ronin). It's not enough though.
Imagine a giant (3-5m reach) monitor arm that can be operated manually, but that can also remember the moves and repeat them. All of that on a mobile base that can do the same, along with a stabilisation head that can do a pitch/roll/yaw. Must be usable with and without power.
