I have a Steadicam Merlin so I could compare this stabilizer with pro gear: No doubt, the merlin is much better quality on all points! I ordered the Opteka to see if he could stand my BMCC because the merlin is when you exceed the limit 2kg. But nothing to do with Opteka, there has not even enough against sapprocher-weight for balance. I have long tried yet, based on my experience with the merlin ... In short "supports up to 2.26 kg" is clearly wrong!
As against a light video camera that can do it if you do not have the budget for a merlin.
