question
How balanced is this receiver? I'd love to add it to my gimbal but not if it's particularly heavy on one side (which was what I discovered when trying to do the same thing with a manfrotto receiver)
The Kwik Release Receiver from Kessler Crane is well balanced.

Is this compatible with the ProAm USA Autopilot Camera Stabilizer System?
Yes it is, you will be able to mount this on to B&H #PRSTA9 which is the ProAm USA Autopilot. You will also want to purchase B&H #KEMG1017 which is the the Kessler Crane Kwik Short Camera Plate to go along with the receiver.

DO YOU HAVE THE V2 VERSION ?
DO YOU HAVE THE V2 VERSION ?
A B and H staff member has already confirmed this is the second version of this product. I have two of these. They are very pricey, but by far the best quick release mount available. I'm using one on my tripod head and another on a Stroboframe off-camera flash bracket. The red sliding bar allows for easily and securely placing your camera in the mount with one hand. Closing the leaver firmly locks it in place.

question
Does this have 1/8 mounting holes? What is the physical dimensions? Will this mount this to a steadicam solo?
We believe you mean 3/8 -16 or 1/4 -20 mounting threads. It has both of these. These are the two world standard tripod mounting sizes.

How does this Kessler quick release compare to ...
How does this Kessler quick release compare to the similar offerings from RRS? Both are Arca-Swiss compatible QR clamps. Why would I choose one versus the other?
Sorry for such a slow response, Eric, but I have been on meds for several days. I will answer your question by taking you on this clamp's journey.
Sorry for this slow response,Eric,
Eric, I have not used the RRS. But I know this clamp is good. And it is necessary for my application. Mounting it to a Gitzo g1570 pan and tilt head. I have learned to loathe that head because of stiffness and transport issues. But I have returned it to service. That head requires this lever clamp!
