how heavy is the camera? If it's quite light then it'll be tough to rock it on a steadicam because of balancing weight and such. you can get weights to counter balance but this of course adds to the stress on your vest.
How did you keep it so straight. I have been using that Merlin for two months, and every shot rocks back and forth, impossible to keep it straight. Have been practicing many hours, still unable to master it.
it takes a while with regards to getting your steps right, your shoulders balanced and of course you need to withstand the weight. Which camera are you using and which battery packs? Do you have a monitor connected yto your steadicam? i know some people that work without the monitor, it's ludicrous to me. Two months is an extremely short period of time to try and master the steadicam.
Well it's only the "Merlin" as I said, which is not the big one and which does not allow monitors to be attached, just the little camera. A year later and happy to tell you my technique has improved, but still not as good as yours! Noted too how patient you were with that fool in the blue jacket who, seeing you were making a walk-thru movie, just stands there staring at you and blocking your way. Finally, evveerrr so slowly, he moves aside.
Can you use the Steadicam Merlin with a Sony handycam DCR-HC17E (mini dv)?

Hi. It was difficult getting there when the plane was empty as this was an airshow day! Camera is XHA1 + wide angle.

Thanks!
