This has been my experience with all the freefly products. If you are a pro and have the client base to afford it, they just work. The radians were 3x's the price of anything else on the market at the time, but they served a lot of people well, including me, and never gave any problems. I do have a slight hesitation to fly a gimbal that essentially doubles the price of the rig though!
As many here, I've had the same frustrations tuning the alexmos setup. I thought I read sometime ago that he was writing a "self-tuning" code, which seems like it wouldn't be that difficult to do, in theory, but I don't have a clue what it would take.
My advice is to use the DJI approach, stick with one camera, lens, and (filter) and don't change anything. Spend the day(s) to get that setup tuned perfectly, then put it to work. Definitely don't change your setup the night before a gig and try and re-tune.
In the tuning I always struggle between balancing enough holding power for the wind versus smooth stabilization. It's much easier to get the stabilization better with lower power.
