Merlin update
A while back, I blogged about the Steadicam Merlin, and how I was having some difficulty getting it to balance properly.
As advised, I bought an extra middle weight, but I didn’t find it to make any difference. I gave up on it. At least for the short term. I’m convinced it can be done, and I will try to crack the code again in the new year.
One person I know who has unlocked the mystery is Dan (aka jerkmony), a fellow shooter I’m friends with on Twitter. Check out his Flickr profile for pictures of how he balanced his Merlin. Maybe if he comes to Windsor, he could balance mine. I think I see a side business for him.
