I must say, once one tries Merling, he is sold to the devil :)
Amazing how well it works.

After I watched the videos at Steadycam Merlin site I was convinced.
After some more browsing I found out about that rig:

Would be great to hear some comments about it as well. Although it seems weird at first, it seems to be quite practical as well. Although maybe not so flexible as the Steadycam.

I have actually used the merlin for quite some time now, and have literally traveled around the world shooting videos with it. Your two concerns have never been an issue with mine. the clamp locks in really snuggly and has never even though about coming loose. and the velcro is holding like a champ. I would def contact merlin about about the clamp, sounds like a defect to me. I did have other issues tho. the button that screws the handle up and down very slightly did once fall off and I super glued it back on. good as new now. I also love being able to literally throw everything in my backpack, to go to a shoot. Contact me, I would love to help. from texas.
