Cheap Steadicam Merlin Alternative- thoughts?

[CameraDog]

I saw on ebay that the U3x stabilizer was upgraded for DSLR cameras. They call it the Longbow-DSLR. Seems like they changed the shape of the spar and an added a side-to-side adjustment head to allow you to center the camera. They claim it can be moved up to 6 inches side to side. Any one have one of the new ones?

Man there are too many options.


Between the U3X, the flycam Nano, the smoothmount and the hague, which steadicam alternative would most people go with?

Go with one that will let you test it out and return it if it doesn't work out.

It seems that they have a webshop for the USA already here: eemov-usa.com.
I have just ordered a Sobercam Hawk kit with a KATA trolley bag and a small phone stabilizer (NANO) for my iPhone. :-)
