@MrPeterFinland Sir, you hit the nail right on the head!
-
@TemplarReturns agreed, what's up with the arrogant grab of the device!
-
That guy with the bald head looked like an asshole.

Damn people are not happy with ol' Merlin on this page. Forget building an imitation pickup a Cam Caddie for $38 it can help you achieve comparable shots and it can mount lights/mics/and a monitor if need be. Works great for my independent setup.

Its good metal with good paint. It would look stupid running around with the same product made out of PVC, which is what I have and works better. I also have a Merlin and hate it. Its over priced and hard to adjust. Given the number of cameras its impossible to build one product to fit all. That is why I made my PVC version exactly for my camera and only my camera. Spent about 30 hours and $28 and its better than the Merlin laying on the couch next to me. Truth.

Why is it $800? It's the BEST one! Stop whining, if you can't afford it then go and get one of the many cheap nasty copies, you will have crap performance though.

@drumboi6 You are paying for the idea, the trend as well. Just like the new ipad2. It only cost them $60 or less to assemble all the gears together in production line in China or somewhere like that but you pay $800 for it and shit load of people still buy it because that is the new trend and people like the idea.

I think this Merlin is vulgar display of greed in this country. $900.00? Are you kidding? Three pieces of metal and counterbalance? Please people don't perpetuate the greed.
Even at $400.00, I cannot justify spending that kind of money on something so simple. Make it yourself for $100, and take $100 and send it to your favorite charity. Help a poor family buy food, give your wives a nice dinner. But please don't be fools and spend $900 on this. It's a freaking crime!

People, go to vimeo and add this number to the url 2007039 and watch the video. Build one for $14 bucks donate the rest to charity. The only magic Merlin performs is to make your money disappear. This is basic engineering. A bent rod with a center of gravity and counterbalance. Big woop. This is a great way to put a young filmmaker out of business. Make one yourself, and teach these highway robbers a lesson. Engineering, my left toe. Basic, high school level science. Nothing more.
