if you're really handy man, you could probably build a bracket yourself
Steadicam | 8017900 Docking Bracket - for Merlin | 801-7900 but you still need a stand, I use cheap C stand from ebay I use it for pilot , it comes with the docking bracket, which fits C stand perfect

this is built using an Apex mic stand microphone mount (about $10). i drilled a hole for a bolt that fit nicely in the Merlin handle and threaded a piece of flat metal for support (with kitchen drawer grip material taped on for padding and so the handle would not rotate). the nuts/washers lock on the bolt and also can adjust the right length for the bolt to fit in the Merlin handle.
