The Merlin let's you "fly" wherever the scene takes you up and down steps, indoors and outside, through crowds almost anywhere, with precise, elegant control and ease. Its quick release mount lets you instantly swap camera connections between your Merlin and any tripod.

Merlin's design significantly reduces fatigue. So lightweight, it weighs less than a can of soda. With a compact DV, balanced and ready to go, the Merlin weighs about two pounds. Its rigid construction permits longer focal lengths than ever imaginable with a hand-held stabiliser.

Merlin's unique dual extended weight system greatly increases inertial stability. And its counterbalancing weight can be precisely adjusted to balance cameras from 0.5 to 5 lbs.

The new patent-pending "Folding-Caliper"TM hinge allows instant fold-up, perfect for shoulder-mounted shooting, and just as quickly, returns precisely for hand-held camera work.

Whether you're an independent camera professional, or running the corporate AV department; a wedding and event videographer or real estate agent; enthusiast or film student, the Steadicam Merlin is right for you.

Brilliantly conceived. Affordable. Versatile. Adjustable. Precise. The Steadicam Merlin. The simplicity of pure design married to common-sense ergonomics.

The VZ-1Shooter is designed specifically for the popular "prosumer" camcorders which are smaller than traditional shoulder-mount cameras, including the Sony VX-2000, DSR-200, TRV-900; and Canon’s GL1 & GL2.

The VZ-1Shooter insures a stable shooting platform by resting easily on your shoulder, keeping most of the weight of the camera off your arm. The 1Shooter simply adjusts to fit your body.

Attach your camcorder to the shoulder brace camera platform using the camera's tripod mounting receiver with the included knurled screw. Position the camera platform (forward, back, up or down) so that the viewfinder or LCD monitor meets the eye comfortably.
