Flycam HD-3000 - Balancing the Horizontal Axis

Holding your Flycam Stabilizer
When handling your Flycam HD Stabilizer, one hand holds onto the handle while other is used to
gently guide the camera in direcon you wish to shoot and frame shot.
For normal shoong, hold the handle in middle.
For shots that require framing the camera up, down or sideways, hold the handle rmly at boom.
This will allow the yoke part of gimbal to rotate without hing your hand or knuckles.
 When you handle your HD Stabilizer, you
will want to use your ‘stabilizer hand’ to
gently hold onto either, the point just
below yoke and bearing assembly, or an
area down by the Base. These two areas
allow for easy control of HD Stabilizer when
in use.
Maintenance
Bearing Maintenance: The main bearing on HD stabilizer is aached to Central Post about two
inches from top. It is of metal construcon and parally enclosed by bearing assembly. If aer a
period of me your bearings don’t turn smoothly, lubricate with a minimum quanty of light
lubricang oil. It 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 stabilizer. If the unit
becomes dirty, use a damp so cloth or sponge with mild detergent to gently clean external
parts.
Storage: Should you need to store your Flycam HD 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
bag. Standing the unit upright is preferred as it alleviates stress on the system.
NOTE: Flycam HD 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.
Pracce Makes You Perfect - Walking the Line
 Using masking or gaers tape, create a cross
mark on a at and even wall. The mark
becomes your framing center. On the oor
leading up to the cross mark, lay a straight
tape line of about 20 feet. Pracce walking
the line, while keeping the cross mark center
framed and in-focus. With a bit of eort,
dramac uid like movements will become
your second nature and provide producon
value to all your setups.
