The ultra-light, ultra-compact Steadicam Merlin allows agile, seamless shooting with small camcorders. Weighing less than 13 oz, the Merlin reduces fatigue and greatly improves stability, allowing you to “fly” wherever the scene takes you.
With a compact DV camera balanced and ready to go, the Merlin weighs about two pounds. Its rigid construction permits longer focal lengths than ever imaginable with a hand-held stabilizer, and its quick release mount lets you instantly swap camera connections between your Merlin and any tripod.
Merlin's unique dual extended weight system greatly increases inertial stability, and its counterbalancing weight can be precisely adjusted to balance cameras from 0.5 to 5 lbs.
The new patent-pending "Folding-Caliper" hinge allows instant fold-up, perfect for shoulder-mounted shooting, and just as quickly, returns precisely for hand-held camera work.
