Steadicam Merlin

While I was researching something else I came upon the "Steadicam Merlin". This does look like a pretty serious upgrade in technology over the previous low-end Steadicams in that it can support more weight and might be smoother too.

A Google search of the product also turned up some interesting video:

Thanks. I did a Google search for the product using "dgrin" as one of the words, but I didn't see anything in the results. Weird.

I should have known Baldy would have it. He gets all the cool stuff.

Edit: I found it on Google if I use the "site: dgrin.com" string instead of just "dgrin". Curious.

True, but if I type it correctly on these forums I get "site:dgrin.com"

I can add it as an image. Yeah, that's the ticket.
