The shots here are from my first paid gig. I also just received the Steadicam Marlin a few days prior to leaving for Colorado. So the steadicam shots you see here are my very first. I found the Steadicam easy to use in terms of carrying the weight of the Merlin and camera in one hand and even the balance aspect. What is hard is that you have to anticipate the camera moves before you'd normally move kind of, so that's going to take quite a bit of practice. Some shots did work out ok however.
