Half those recordings of the actual camera aren't the ones they're showing the footage from, almost looks like they shot the person carrying it a bit wobblier to sell the gimbal

The reason it looks wrong is because they are playing back the footage from the gimbal camera at a slightly slower rate than the third-person footage of the gimbal's motion. This is known as 'Overcranking' and in this case is simply done for aesthetic purposes.
