Hello everyone! I am new to this forum but I have been using a Steadicam Merlin for a bit over a year.
I shoot with a consumer SONY HDR-SR7 that has semi-fisheye lens attached to it.
I am very comfortable with Merlin and feel that I have achieved that cat-like flow when I operate it.
My question is; How much is the going rate to charge for the Merlin work. Should I charge per hour or per day? I might have a potential client that may go exclusive with me for all future fashion/concert/party video gigs but I don't want to scare him by giving a too high rate.
I would truly appreciate any input you may have on this...
Thanks!!!
