They keep delaying it, last time I talk to the sales, they told me it'll be shipping in August , $2300 for the set (vest and arm), or $900 for the arm, if you want to upgrade.
Can't decide , Merlin Arm and vest, or new double arm Shooter, would be nice to try both, but distributors say they don't have it in stock and I have to buy to try, nice, ha ;-) |

New info on pricing:
Complete X-10 kit, arm and vest, will list at $ 2399,00. The upgrade kit will list at $ 999,00, that's the second spring section that will simply bolt onto the existing one. As for the delays: I'm sure they just want to have enough units ready for the resellers. @ Buba: If you have the chance to stop by at the IBC you will have the opportunity to try all the rigs. |

Oh boy! Here we go again...whose is bigger...:) Confrontational!!! ;) Pascal is right. Try and decide for yourself if possible. But I'll also like you to answer Mikko's question first.
BTW, I'm fine Pascal. Are you going to IBC? Stupid question, Of course you're are? :)

Meh, go for the Merlin. The arm is way better, the vest is so light you can hardly feel it's there, and the Merlin's adjustments are million times better/easier/faster than the glidecam's.
If you can afford the 2400 for the Glidecam, then the last 200 for the benefit of a tools-free Iso-elastic arm you can adjust on the fly, and a sled with knobs and micro-trim rollers (instead of nuts to loosen) that you get with the real Steadicam is almost negligable. - Mikko

that's what I was thinking, the only concern is the weight difference of the Merlin and Glidecam , and cuz I already have a GC handheld, thought would be better to go with the designed for each other products instead of mixing and trying to match, will have to find the way for a test drive before buying, anyways , thank you all for advice and best of luck to everyone, cheers! |
