Here’s a little trick I tried on my Merlin.
I went down to the tire shop and they gave me some stick on lead tire weights.
They come in a strip and each square weighs ¼ oz. using these I added 2.¾ oz to the back underside of my Merlin and achieved much better control in every way.
I was having some troubles with it bobbing around before and the gimbal was too sanative when I touched it with my finger for a little control.
It also works much better now even without the extra weight of the wide-angle lens.
If you don’t like the weights, there easy to remove!

Just thought I would pass this on.
