I use the Steadicam Merlin to do house tours. I have the vest, but generally don’t use it.It’s just hand held with a 5D Mark II (DSLR). I’ve tried a few of the cheaper knockoffs, but didn’t find they really worked that well. They were clumsy and very fatiguing. I have used this thing virtually every single day, all day long for over 5 years. It’s built well! No issues, but the learning curve is a LOT greater than their advertising would have you believe. It takes hours and hours and hours and hours and hours of practice……
