kris verdonck Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Hi, I'm new to the Merlin 2, and I was wondering if anyone could help me out balancing a Canon Mark II, 50 mm + battery grip (2 batteries). What are the settings? Thanks, Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Papastavrou Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Hello I don't think one can say any more than what's in the manual. The procedure is very straightforward and with testable results (as to correct balancing). Operating on the other hand, takes lots of practice and you should not expect extraordinary results right away, even if you balance correctly. Also, battery hangars some times seem to introduce vibrations. Keep that in mind.

Elliot Gabor Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 a 50mm lens on a Merlin is really pushing it especially for someone starting out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris verdonck Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 I've nearly figured it out with the battery grip & 50mm: after trying almost every combination, these settings are pretty close: dovetail N, arc 35 cm, plate 1,25cm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
