it wasn't even balanced

[michael1980123]

why does everyone testing a camera stabilizer jerk the rig forward and back. I get your trying to demonstrate balance but in practice you would never use that shot. It would be like me testing sound system at max gain.

I think the lens was a f/2.8 and not the f/1.4 lens. It looks to small to the be the 'L' lens.

@SingsInTheTimber

The f1.4 is not an L lens, the f1.2 is the L lens. There is also an f1.8

[idoor]

wow, that is really well balanced.

what was your configuration?

[paivaprod]

The lens on the Merlin camera is a Canon 24mm f/1.4 prime.

[TheOm3ga]

@paivaprod 24 1.4? Your wishes. That's the EF 35mm f2.
