I actually quite like that. I would be very interested to hear any reports on how it functions in the real life setting. I can see its possibilities but I can see some weaknesses.

Over complicated and long winded IMHO.
I've seen this before and it's too involved. Looks bloody dangerous when you see it near the chuck too!
Steve Bedair's version is so much simpler and works a treat. Ok, so you have to make a few changes to get the convex cuts... But it works just the same.
Just my 2 penneth.

On the video, it says it's "robust", then a bit later that it helps avoid tool breakage by absorbing shocks, which seems a bit contradictory. It doesn't look very robust; there seem to be lots of overhang and various swivel joints.

I've cut the end off it twice, but it's still too short

I myself agree with too much movement. But if it has locks on the pivot points that would only let one pivot move at a time, I see it very workable. And the price they get for it, it must be more than what you see.
