Steadicam, Z1 and steadishot

[dustindementia]

When using a steadicam and z1 should the steadishot feature be turned off?

I noticed some weirdness when reviewing some footage shot with a merlin and steadishot on. There seemed to be some small jitters when walking.

Just as with a tripod, there is rarely need for Steadishot on a Merlin, so you generally want to turn it off.

Sometimes at extreme telephoto settings and at high speeds, it can be beneficial though. In these cases it's a good idea to test beforehand and see which gives better results.
