    Quite interesting. I wonder how you would go about balancing it.

  • luaxluax

    I was thinking the same… A closer look makes it seem that there are two plates that you can adjust separately by turning the black knobs.

    on top of other questions: how it will perform? and what's the purpose of that mini tripod? we do really need to use a stabilizer like a fixed tripod?!

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    No one really knows how it performs :-)

    Having a stabilizer with a tripod is really useful for putting it down / setting up the initial balance. I guess the idea is that if you have to have a counterweight you might as well make it useful as a stand as well. Clever! But will it blend?

    Looks like a Chinese copy of the Chinese Skyler MiniCam, lol: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Skyler-MiniCam-Mk-II-DSLR-Video-Stabilizer-/290689736828

    Looks absolutely terrible, but price just 1/3 of the skyler.

    It is not Skyler copy, as they are completely different (except bottom part).
    And SKyler is produced by small team in Taiwan as I remember.

    Really nice find, a weight system that is a stand at the bottom so you can set it down.. nice idea.. and it comes with a hardcase for under $200.. Sad that I bought a nano months ago now.. if anyone gets this , please review it... I like my nano but this might be worth the upgrade if it fly's well.

    ANyone dared to try this?

    @Flaaandeeers

    Suggest to check other options, as they are available now, like ones in todays deals.

    Has been around for almost 2 years, this contraption. Works like a Merlin but needs less balancing from user. When it was first introduced in Taiwan, i saw it, tried it, but was dissuaded to buy it by what was at that time a high price

    I know that you mean, but it has nothing common with thing discussed in this topic (except three legs attached).
