learning the balancement of a merlin on a fx1
Hola, i was wondering if i can save $ building a DIY Steadistand for the merlin.Any ideas?anybody out there did it?
thx |
if you're really handy man, you could probably build a bracket yourself
Steadicam | 8017900 Docking Bracket - for Merlin | 801-7900 but you still need a stand, I use cheap C stand from ebay EI803 7.3FT Studio Photo Video Light Stand lightStands on eBay.ca I use it for pilot , it comes with the docking bracket, which fits C stand perfect |
Seems i'm learning the stairs but i feel hard times on the lateral moves...
I get no vest yet... |

this is built using an Apex mic stand microphone mount (about $10). i drilled a hole for a bolt that fit nicely in the Merlin handle and threaded a piece of flat metal for support (with kitchen drawer grip material taped on for padding and so the handle would not rotate). the nuts/washers lock on the bolt and also can adjust the right length for the bolt to fit in the Merlin handle.
