FLYCAM HD HA NDHELD VIDEO STABILIZER



Continuing the assembly and balance requirements to make your Flycam HD Stabilizer fully

functional you will note that the base platform has a provision to mount the balance

weights via 2x BH bolts secured with knobs on both sides of the post.



The purpose of the counter weight system is to match the low end of the stabilizer to the

weight of the camera and accessories at the high/top end with the gimbaled handle as the

pivot point in between.



The heavier the camera and accessories, the more weights are required to achieve proper

balance. Generally as you add weight to one side of the central post, an equal amount has

to be added to the other side to maintain horizontal balance.



However if you are using an offset configuration such as a flip out viewfinder or off center

accessories, extra weights might be needed on the opposite side of the post to counter

act and maintain proper balance.

The up and down (vertical) position of the tele-

scopic central post is adjusted by loosening the

control located at the base, raising or lowering the

stalk to achieve desired location and then retight-

ening the vertical control.

Do not over-tighten this control.
