Steadicam Merlin

The Steadicam Merlin offers light, agile, seamless shooting for today's videographer.

Ultra-light and ultra-compact, the Steadicam Merlin allows you to keep up with the action more easily than ever.

Designed by Garrett Brown, the inventor of the original Steadicam Jr, the Merlin is the next generation hand held Steadicam system.
