It contains an explanation of what the parts do, and a visual demonstration of what effect it has on footage shot with it.

Operating this device to good effect does require a great deal of practice, a superior amount of balance, and a larger than average bicep (the latter of which I am definitely without). With practice though, very smooth camera moves are quite within the realm of possibility.
