two direcons to get the balance just right. Loosen the screw sets that allow the sled to move le
and right. Adjust the top plate so that it is centered and ghten down the screws like you would a
re slowly and alternang side to side.

• Check to see if your camera is sing level. If not, repeat the necessary steps unl it does.

the FLYCAM and camera.
Maintenance
Bearing Maintenance: The main Bearing on your Flycam Handheld Stabilizer is aached to the
Central Post about two inches from the top. It is of metal construcon and parally enclosed by the
Bearing assembly. If aer a period of me your bearings don’t turn smoothly, lubricate with a
minimum of light machine oil. Light lubricang oil can also be used on the Yoke and Handle Bearings.
Be sure to keep oil away from your camera, & clean up any over spill.
Cleaning: Do not use solvents or harsh cleaners of any kind on your Flycam Hand held stabilizer. If
the unit becomes dirty, use a damp so cloth or sponge and a mild detergent to gently clean external
parts.
Storage: Should you need to store your Flycam Hand held stabilizer for a long period of me then
place the unit upright in a dry or low to normal humidity area whenever possible. If you are unable
to nd this kind of environment then we suggest you store the unit in an airght plasc container or
bag. Standing the unit upright is preferred as it alleviates stress on the system.
NOTE: Flycam 5000 Stabilizer doesn’t work under water, nor is it waterproof. Avoid direct exposure
to rain, water spray or any harsh environment. The bearings are not sand proof. Avoid geng dirt or
sand in them.
