Anybody have Merlin settings?

Here is a new set up which i think may work fairly well and also allows the gplatz to touch the base of the camera and not inbetween the focus ring.
150 with large battery

Mounting hole G
0 on the mounting plate
front = 1 start 1 mid
bottom = 1 start 4 mid 1 finish
arc 1 notch/line bfore last line
z = -2
trim to level

Please those with more flying experienc this is my forst attempt at using one of these. I have spent many hours trying different combinations so any feedback is appreciated.
 
just confirming whether matt's previously posted merlin setting is the one to follow. has it been working well for everyone?
 
HMC150 with small battery, full wide on zoom. 14" arc (measured from front of stage to where the bottom weights screw in) Minus 3 on the mounting plate. Bottom weights: 4 Mid, 1 finish. Middle weights: 1 mid, 1 finish. On the fine gimble adjustment: I saw about 2 threads. Trim from there. That got me a 1 second drop time. Could slow that down a bit with the fine gimble adjust. The HMC150 seemed to be happy and calm at that point. Of course if I jerked it around violently like everyone seems to want to do. It moves and boats a bit. The other 50% is the operator. At least that's what Garrett told me in and E Mail; Have fun!

Haleyvision, which mounting hole do you use? And did you use 1 start on the bottom weights also? Seemed like adding it made it work for me.
