The Merlin, Pilot, Flyer, and Archer all share the same post and gimbal hole size, allowing arm components to be swapped between them.
Merlin and Flyer arms both use the same size post, making them interchangeable depending on sled balance requirements.
The Merlin is designed for cameras up to 5 pounds, which is the minimum weight for the Flyer arm, so a heavier camera is needed on the Merlin when using a Flyer arm to achieve proper balance.
A complete Flyer package can be purchased and its arm and vest can be reused on a Merlin by upgrading only the gimbal component.

Flyer arm components work with Merlin but require a camera at the heavier end of Merlin's weight range for proper balance.
Component manufacturers may not sell gimbal upgrades separately without arm and vest included.
