That's the same setup with additional (spare) screws--wish they sold it like that here for the same price as those screws are not cheap as spares! Naturally you only use the screw or screws that you...

Actually the best thing to have in the monitor location is the monitor...! One of the advantages (the only one, really) of that model of the JR over the current Merlin is that it has a central...

May I just ask, although I am hesitant to contribute to yet another 24 vs 60 debate, for those who "can't stand" the look of 24p, do you have this problem when watching movies (i.e. 35mm originated),...

Tim, understood, it's not for everyone. Certainly it's more hardware and requires more attention than handheld or tripod work. I do find that the quick release system in use with the Merlin allows me...

Scrims are quicker and easier to use for the most part than pieces of gel. Mole and Arri lights have round drop-in scrims that can quickly be added to or removed to get the effect you want.

Steve:

I've never seen that Italian (?) version of the Merlin, but it is probably safe to say that it weighs noticeably more than the Merlin chassis which means more strain on the arms. Generally...

With the whole package onboard, I moved the camera back one mounting hole, added a middle weight at the bottom and dropped the spar an inch or so. With the DM-50 only, I think you could probably just...

I believe that a quick release plate like the Bogen is absolutely essential with the little Glidecams, especially where the extra weight is welcome such as with the HV20. The fore-aft and side-side...

It wouldn't be too hard to make an adaptor to mount the Merlin on the Flyer arm, and while you are at it you could add a mounting post to add weight at the end of the arm which would help...
