 Vercal Adjustment of telescopic central
post is made by loosening the control
located at the base, raising or lowering the
post to desired locaon and then
reghtening the vercal control. Do not
over-ghten this control.
Balancing your Flycam Stabilizer
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 oset conguraon such as a ip out viewnder or o center accessories,
extra weights might be needed on the opposite side of the post to counter act and maintain proper
balance.
Total weight xed to the base plaorm should be equal to the weight of your camera plus the head and
any accessories.
Balancing the Horizontal Axis
When your Flycam HD Stabilizer is properly assembled, you can start the test and setup of
horizontal balance. Horizontal Balance allows the camera to remain level, during operaon, with
the Central Post in a vercal posion unless o-axis framing is desired.
When tesng for horizontal balance start from a at and level surface like table. This will allow the
stabilizer to hang freely as you hold it. If your stabilizer is correctly balanced on its horizontal axis,
then it will be both leveled & upright, with Central Post in a perfect vercal posion.
NOTE: If you do not have enough weight on Base Plaorm the enre Flycam could ip upside down.
If this movement starts to happen, be ready to catch the sled before a complete 180° occurs. This
type of unwanted movement requires more weight to be added to the base with addional weight
discs.
Before beginning the balancing process check the following:
 Camera is securely aached to Head Plate
 Lens cap is removed and secured
 Telescoping Clamp is ghtened
 Weight discs are added successfully
 All screws are ghtened securely
 Baery, all accessories and cables are secured
