Merlin vs other stabilizing options with GH2
  • 27 Replies sorted by
  • Merlin is best stab of it's type.

    I suggest to also look at Wondlan stabilizers.

    They have Pegasus and Ares similar to Merlin.

    We had them on deals and people who bough them had been pretty happy.

    They also have very ligh traditional stab.

    You can look at 24h deals.

  • If you haven't used a stabiliser before (any brand) then one thing you won't be able to do is manual focus or anything else which involves touching the camera during a shot. So you need to either live eith that or use a lens capable of AF. Whereas with a shoulder rig or dolly or whatever, you don't have that limitation.

    Apologies if you already know this, of course.
