What is the difference between the Merlin and other hand-held stabilizers?
Of course I’m biased, but the Merlin is by far the lightest, and I think the most elegant and functional of the lot. It has the best (patented) three-axis ball-bearing gimbal, the most precise and accessible trim controls, and is considerably more stable than any other. Rotational inertia increases by the square of the distance between the masses, and the Merlin has the greatest separation between its counterweights. It also is the only hand-held stabilizer that can be placed in true dynamic balance, and the only one with our (patented) caliper hinge, that always folds into the perfect storage position, regardless of the adjusted size of the ‘arc.’ Oh, and did I mention that the camera removes instantly and can be docked on the available tripod-adaptor-plate.
