Weight wise this is at the limit of the Merlin, but it balances wonderfully for those interested.

Sony V1E
Sony NP-F970
Rode NTG-1 (with 4in XLR cable)
Litepanels Micro

Also note the alignment of the stage and trim are identical at +3.

In the interest of clarification; I presume this is the "new" Merlin with the metal gimbal?

Yes metal gimbal Merlin.
