Important Things to Consider

• Your rental begins when the first delivery attempt is made. If you do not think you’ll be available for home delivery, please contact us to arrange for delivery to another location.

• Your rental must be returned to its pick up location or postmarked by your shipper before the same day cut-off time. Contact the location you’ll be bringing the return package to in advance to find out what the same day cut-off time is. Remember, local pickup spots and ship centers have varied hours!

• For your security, get a receipt from whoever you are dropping your gear off with for return.

The Steadicam Merlin Camera Stabilizing System is designed for lightweight cameras between 0.5-5 lbs. It allows you to move your camera smoothly, much like the motion effects you get from traditional dollies, cranes, and larger Steadicams. The 3-axis gimbal handle is ergonomic and suitable for both left-handed and right-handed operators. This is an affordable and travel-friendly stabilization solution that is ideal for beginners and on-the-go projects.
