Thanks, the Merlin doesn't actually cause me pain anywhere, just general fatigue after a while.

Very good stuff Nick.
Found myself engrossed in the Ninjutsu and not the shots/shooting a few times there ... and that is the goal, well done! The shots flowed smoothly and naturally, and many of them harmonized with the action in the shot. This is some of the better Merlin footage I've seen. - Mikko

Thanks Mikko.
Non of it was scripted and I was just shooting on the fly. I can perform better when I rehearse a shot - even if it's just in my head.

Getting ready to make a Merlin purchase, and was checking out this footage, very nice. As was mentioned, I was paying more attention to the subject matter, and not the shot, so that's awesome.

Nice merlin work but I gotta say that instructor stole the show. Each move ended in what was technically a "kill". I was too awesome to watch, he was cutting people's throats with their own knives! If this guy taught in Toronto, I'd fully go to his school, not because I wanna kill someone but because that just looks like too much fun.

You are absolutely right Evan, it certainly doesn't hurt having Ed Lomax, a 15th Dan Shihan as the focus of attention, and you are also right that it is so much fun!

I think the Merlin only works with cameras up to 5lbs, and the XL1 might be too long too.

Length isn't really an issue with Steadicam (ok, it is in the absoloute extremes, you can always go too far with anything...) but weight is. And the XL series (XL1, XL1s, XL2, XL H1) are all far to heavy to operate on any handheld stabilizer.
