You guys are not familiar with gimballed stoves and drink holders for
sailboats ?

Unless this is something 'more' ..there's nothing new or unique about a
two axis gimbal system.
That they use the word 'gyro' with the product.
that implies a full time spinning disc ..
if it's powered and uses that technology ..fine . then 'gyro' is
appropriate.
otherwise it appears to me to be an ordinary two-axis gimballed mount.

Been on another planet for a while ?
or am Imissing some informationand it's more than the common thing I
think it is ?

about leveling the van ..
there's an iphone app for that !
and lots of travel trailers and RV's have small level mounts on their
outside corners.
