Hi all, first post here! Thanks in advance for any help.
So I have a Sony Z1 & a Z7 & looking to start flying. In this economy I have to make sure that every cent is spent wisely so I'm trying to figure out what I should buy.
The rigs I'm mainly looking at are:
Steadicam Merlin (w/ arm & vest)
Steadicam Pilot
Glidecam X-10 & 4000 Pro
I'm leaning toward the Merlin w/ the hope that there will be an easy path to upgrade to the Pilot in the future if I need the extra features. But I could go X-10 right now for about the price of the Merlin & save on a future upgrade.
What I'd like to know is what people think of the pros / cons of these rigs?
Also, has anyone used the Z7 on the Merlin?
