Gabriel Gallant Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Greetings all. The tax refund came in and after much research, I decided to start small and work my way up. UPS showed up the other day with the Merlin. So far I have wanted to throw the thing through many a window. I do realize however that this takes patience to get the settings right. I decided to start small on all my gear to make sure I really want to forge into the world camera operator. I also bought a JAG35 lens and a Tiffen tripod dolly. Now it practice practice practice. I stumbled across other forums and this looks to be the most friendly and professional site out of them all with great advice. Well, back to the Merlin, so far I have yet to get the one second tilt. The thing just rotates over quickly..... -Gabriel- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niall Chadwick Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Definitely come to the right place. You will be hard pressed to find a group of more dedicated, generous and talented people anywhere else. If you can tell what the camera is, then its easier to know what you are dealing with. From what I can see, each camera has its only little quirks that make balancing it different on various rigs. However, Im also a newbie at this. /cue the pros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
