which kind of stabilizer?

Well I'm looking to get a stabilizer (not pro stuff) just to get decent footage.

So the question, which kind will work best for walking over rocks, Merlin style or Flycam/Glidecam ?? The videos I try to record are while we go rock crawling with the jeeps, some shots walking at the sides but is very irregular terrain.

So what would work best?

Steadicam Merlin works good for me.

Thanks Photo99 do you have any sample ?

Any other recomendations ?

Good thread! i too was wondering steadycam's and flycam's versus video rigs (such s the jag35 field runner.)

I'm not convinced any system will work if you are trying to traverse rough terrain.

Take a look at this.

Well I think will go for a merlin style it seems that would be better than hand hold lol..

Thanks

0:18 most rough terrain will look smooth with a good quality stabiliser like the Glidecam or Merlin
