Steadicam Merlin Test shots

thats one lazy cat...lol
great footage, how long till you got the hang of it?

What did you use for the low angles? Does it come with some sort of accessorie, or did you just neal down?
 
That was pretty damn good man. I always thought you needed lots of skill and practice for these things. 30 mins! damn. Way to go.
 
Stephen, the cat's right leg was broken and he was hobbling around, in case you didn't notice :) The low angles are just kneeling down. You can only get to within about 16 inches of the ground because of the counterweight arm that extends below the camera.

Slimothy, I had been using it for the entire weekend before shooting these test shots. However, it is very easy to figure out what to do with it, and the first time I used it, I was up and running after about a half hour of messing about.
