thank you for all your feedback. I think the merlin would do well. I meant not to be hidden, just not carry something very big. thanks again.

Hello, I could really use advice on getting my first steadycam. I am a total beginner to shooting video with dslr. I will be using this for shooting in the Middle East in streets and among strangers, so having a an inconspicuous profile is important to me. I won't need to shoot from unusual angles. Just something I can hold nonchalantly and walk through the bazaar. I've seen very cheap options, some even under $50 that claim to support my Nikon d5200. but the price seems suspciously low. Like Vidpro SB-10 sold by B&H. (this textfield does not let me paste anything so I can't post the links). Would you recommend any low-budget one for a beginner to get started, preferably under $150, that is reasonably solid and provides a low profile? Thank you in advance.
