Balancing and leveling the Steadicam "Merlin" can be a very time consuming task. If you balance it bottom heavy, you just need a few seconds to level the thingy, but you´ll also get fed up with the permanently tumbling. Balancing it as perfect as possible needs a lot of patience and therefore either strong arms or some little helpers. I had a great idea to connect my merlin to a Seagull shouldermount, which is super easy and effective as hell:) Hope you like my tiny tutorial and maybe it´s also helpful for you :) Equipment used: Canon EOS 7D, Tokina AF 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X Pro DX, Kenko Polarizer, Steadicam "Merlin", Seagull Shoulderrig, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ38, B+W MRC Polarizer, slim, Canon EF 50mm/ f/1,4, USM B+W MRC Polarizer, slim, Manfrotto MA 055 CXPRO3 tripod, Manfrotto 701 HDV videohead, Manfrotto 808 RC4 3way-head, Zoom H2N external Audiorecorder © 2010 The IE·DNlab Project
