Good Morning,
I just purchased my Merlin (don't know much about it) and I plan to use it with my Canon 60D and Panasonic HPX 170. Takes more practice than I thought but I'm patient and I have plenty of time to learn. Haven't had much luck with the 60D so I moved to the 170 which seems to work better. I can balance it fine on the table. When I get up to walk, the camera shakes it's head "Yes" Real slight and slow. Never any side to side action. This is the sign of a bottom heavy camera right? Seems like when I turn the guide counter clockwise it seems to help. What type of body action do I need to learn to stop this?
Thanks

Helps a little bit. I'm thinking it's more of a learning curve and body motion. It balances on the table, no problem. I can balance the camera while standing if I'm motionless. The moment I move is when I get the tilting action. As a complete novice, I can describe it as the camera catching the wind. I have plenty of time to practice so I remain patient! Thanks for getting back with me.
