Can anyone give any feedback on the Dive Caddy G3? Looking at purchasing one but want to ask this expert board for its thoughts. Anyone have one and care to offer up your review? Thanks in advance!

Are they still in business? Website doesn't appear to have been updated in 4 years. This has been on there since the last time i looked - over a year ago:
Check the date on your linked video - it's also 2013. Here's a couple other old links -
Dive Caddy Travel System: The Sham Wow of Dive Shows?
Looks like Leisurepro stopped selling them also. Dive Caddy Gen3 Travel Bag System
House of Scuba is selling a few on Amazon - they're a close out dive retailer among other things.
I don't have one nor have I seen one IRL but one thing that's bothered me about them is that with the airline consolidation most flights lately seem to be completely full - even a few years ago I've been asked to gate-check my carry-on roller so I'd have to wonder how your gear would survive a trip on the baggage conveyor.
They sell it as a gate check option but both times I've done that at my destination it was not possible to recover my bag at the gate - it went to baggage claim with the rest of the luggage. I don't know that the Dive Caddy provides enough protection if that happens in a major hub. .
No matter how you squash it, it's not going to fit in the 22x14x9 checked luggage box sizer at every ticket counter if the arilines start enforcing that. Most fins are longer than that. Plus United and a few others have floated a proposal to make the carry-on dimensions even smaller.
