This B&H Kit includes a Steadicam Solo Stabilizer & Monopod and a Steadicam Solo Arm Vest that provides a stabilizer system, which, when used with the arm vest kit, allows stabilized camera work while transferring the weight of the system to your body, lessening fatigue and allowing for longer operating time. The kit supports up to 10 pounds of camera and accessories and can be used as a vest arm camera sled, a handheld stabilizer, or a monopod.
The Solo incorporates a 3-axis gimbal for smooth floating shots and folds down to 24" for transport and storage. The arm features an adjustment range of 4 to 15 pounds, and the vest is designed to be lightweight and slim, allowing you to wear it under a tuxedo jacket for use during formal events.

question
Looking for a good hard case for the solo and Merlin arm and vest.
Vest wont fit in a Pelican 1650. The 1660 and IM2975 Storm Case are worth a look.

question
Can someone tell me what the inside diameter of the handle on the Solo? I need to find a pin mount to attach this to a C-stand for balancing and storage when not in use.
12 or 12.5mm would suggest a pint of 11mm

question
If the SOLO VEST & ARM have a weight load capacity of 4-15 pounds, why is it listed that this product has a weight load capacity of only 10 pounds?Isn't the weight load capacity dependent upon what the vest and arm can carry?
I am not sure about the kit but stabilizer broke after few uses.. not worth the money. I have seen other videographers using glide cam. Not a relative answer to your question but thought this info might help.
