Some shots fom my first proper practice session. Trying to adjust to operating the gimbal with the right hand instead of the left.

Good solid shots there Nick. .. especially considering how windy it looked to be! I'm presuming the allyway was completly sheltered?

Thanks Mikko. It was mostly sheltered. Sometimes the wind did compromise the quality of the shot.

Great practice footage Nick, thanks for posting! Seems like you're getting used to filming this way. Would it be possible to use the Z1 with wide converter on this system?

Nick,

I liked the way you handled the gimbal. Very light touch. Good job!

Thanks, Probably. Depends on how much it weighs, with the metal gimbal the Merlin can now handle up to 7.5 pounds.

Did you pull the video down? Link says so.

Thanks

Sam

Yeah, it was pretty weak, better footage here:
