I was using a Ronin RS2 gimbal with my Blackmagic 6K Pro but I got a new Sirui anamorphic lens and since then the Gimbal has struggled to keep up.
Upgraded to Zhiyun Crane 3s Pro and also got the Flycam Galaxy with Gimbal head adapter and Atomos Ninja field Monitor and My heart fluttered when I saw it was delivered TODAY! Who else gets this much into their craft that they get this excited with new gear coming in? Presently playing with the new set up and seeing where I can take it creatively.
Absolutely get this feeling. Usually get something through the post unpack it then try and work out how soon we can squeeze a new scene in. Looking at your list sounds like your kit is a lot more advanced. Today's excitement was a RODE VideoMic GO to slot on top of the video camera. Did a camera upgrade in the last 3 months so thought it worth spending a little on crisper audio. Come a long way in the last 6 months when we were capturing stuff on a 5yo point and shoot stills camera.
That said, I get the same feeling when we get an order of clothing, or mess, or shoes arrive, so I might just be a magpie.
Edit: Shold have a special character in the product name, but it wasn't rendering.
I've definitely had my on-again off-again problems with severe GAS (gear acquisition syndrome) but what a joy it is to actually be able to step up your production to that next level!

I simply LOVE Rode! Great choice! I have two of their shotgun mics and 2 LDC mics I use for live recordings and they have become my workhorse mics for miccing most applications such as dialogue and choirs. My Telefunken and Warm Audio mics I save for the studio.
I been doing live production for years and I'm just happy I have a good and proper cinema camera set up instead of shooting off my Nikon. I love my Nikon but I was still limited to 1080P and really wanted to capitalize on the new wave of cine lenses coming out for the super 35 sensor. Still waiting on my upgraded V mount battery so I can run the Atomos, gimbal and Camera off it but below is a couple of shots getting everything balanced in. I put on my Sigma Art 18-35mm lens on just because that's the heavier of my lenses so if the gimbal and float can handle that, then it will certainly hold of my Siriu 35mm anamorphic

It really is! I look at it as "opening doorways" to new creative options for shooting the content we love. I know that in the fetish world, that phrase tends to fall on deaf ears but I don't care. It's all art to me.
I mean, I shoot other stuff outside fetish and my first run with this rig takes place this weekend when I take a day trip to NH to hopefully get some beautiful scenery/landscape footage and hopefully catch some wildlife on camera as well. If I have enough daylight I might take the drone out for a spin as well. *fingers crossed*
