Steadicam + Letus 35 + HVX200

[umuima]

I'm looking into Steadicam options for an HVX200 with an added Letus35 + Lens set up. I was researching the Steadycam Merlin for this purpose, but I'm not sure if the weight will be supported. Any suggestions?

-The Merlin wont work.

-The Steadicam flyer will work but it is beyond the recommended threshold.

-Flyer LE will definitely work room to spare.

I have a Steadicam Pilot and it is definitely not beefy enough to handle my HVX/Letus etc. The indicam Surfer (also formerly known as the Pilot) reportedly should:

The indicam is not generally regarded as being as refined a product as the Steadicam brand, but may be just fine you what you need. For myself, I just fly it without the adapter, same as on my Advanta-jib.
