Anyone flying a 5D II on a stedicam merlin, would love to see some results.

No, but I am flying the 5D on a modified Glidecam X-10 system. Its a great system
but a skill that demands lots of practice.

Should work well enough, except that you have no control of focus, so shoot wide with a deep stop!
