it should be better to avoid standardaero people due to the poor quality of the job

Still interesting to watch... Find all this sort of stuff fascinating.

Not quite the same, but doing an aircraft visit during my 747 conversion course, I got to go into the avionics bay and into the cargo hold... I was over the moon! :)

With an aeroplane that has fully hydraulic powered controls, then surface balancing is not necessary, simples.

Can anyone shed a light on the cost per minute filmed, kinda curious.

Not as I recall. Any slop in the linkages can cause flutter/control reversal with unbalanced control surfaces.

There is always a linkage. The PCU has a ball link with a pin through it on the A/C structure and the same on the control surface. Any wear on these results in movement.
