Merlin Question...

[Robbie Comeau]

I searched this but couldn't find anything...

Is the handle suppose to be wobbly? If so, is it just practice to get it balanced properly?

Thanks,

Robbie and Kegan

Robbie when you say*wobbly do you mean that while holding it with the cam on the deck that you can move it side to side independent of the rest of the unit? If so, yes thats the way its designed, so the deck is isolated from those movements.

Noel,

K so basically this is what happened. We used your settings for the XH-A1 and we're confused with the 'Z' value and the G pgejgaknag value. It seems pretty front heavy. I meant wobbly as in the handle won't stay upright. I get its a balance thing, but its not working. Everything moves, including camera.

Robbie mine are the settings that have HVX in the comparable column.

The z value is -4, meaning unscrew four turns from top.

Gplazt is a tricky one - see here for some pics on how I set it - pic 1 and 3. Drop me a PM if you need some more help.
