I've been using my Steadicam Merlin & Vest for about a week now and I'm still not seeing the kind of results I'd like.
There are a lot of videos showing drop times and how to balance but no one seems to be using this thing with a Pentax and I just have to go to such extremes to get this thing balanced right.
Fore/Aft & side to side is easy, but knowing if you're not bottom heavy enough is so fine it's frustrating. I can shake my camera around on a tripod and it wont swing at all, but when I'm using it it just goes wherever it wants. Could the gimbal be broken/need lubrication?
looking for better tips/videos
