Most of my aerial experience is with helocopters and film cameras...
gyros really come into their own with film work, because camera and
craft movements are greatly magnified through projection. Video images
rarely get very large...

With still work, the gyros will at minimum help with composition and my
experience is that they have gotten good enough to help reduce camera
shake and improve sharpness as well.
