So - a couple of questions...
1 - would a Harbor Freight clamp work just as well?
2 - would it make a difference if a good hardwood was used instead of pine?
3 - Should a Sam Maloof finish be applied to the wood - would that make a
difference?
4 - Where is the 30-something young lady with no shirt on that is supposed
to be behind the camera?
Always looking to improve my skills and knowledge...

No. This really would not have been possible with "two-handed-operation"
clamps, and in my experience, the HF "one-hand" clamps suck.

If I was filming a piece of pine, I'd have used softwoods for the camera
mount. But the subject if the video was routing some hardwood pieces.
The "system" shown consists maple and red oak.

It makes panning and tilting smoother, but has no effect on static
shots. On the downside, with a Maloof finish, people are constantly
feeling the wood and shaking the camera.

I gave the rest of the staff the day off.

Is that what you would call a "steady cam?"

Sure :)
In fact, that's why I fastened it to a ceiling rack above the bench.
Flimsy as the "mount" was, there was no vibration at all from the router.
