You probably won't be able to have a battery on the belt, it'll spin the merlin (we tried a similar setup on a 7D with a USB follow focus. The focus puller really had no margin for error at all, the USB cable dragged the steadicam everywhere with it). I also found it to be right on the edge, by spec. Pilot is probably the way to go, but if you do try the Merlin, I'd really recommend having the vest. That rig will get really heavy in a hurry, handheld.
