Hello,
all this prices are including and the vest and the arm?

Yep. All systems include sled with 5.8" wide screen monitor, vest, arm, backpack/carry-case, 4 middle weights, 4 end weights, cables, tie-down screws, etc.

In other words, a complete system.

For people who have already bought the vest and arm for the Merlin, you can also buy the Pilot sled separately:
Pilot-VLS (No Arm or Vest, Vlock battery mount, no batteries or charger), $2500
Pilot-ABS (No Arm or Vest, AB battery mount, no batteries or charger), $2500
Pilot-VLSB (No Arm or Vest, VL battery mount, 2 batteries and charger), $3300
Pilot-ABSB (No Arm or Vest, AB battery mount, 2 batteries and charger), $3700

Try avoiding the Merlin. I bought the Merlin when I purchased my SONY EX1 and it was not big enough for the EX1 over all.

I believe the Merlin will work if the the arm and vest accessory is used.
