 Connuing the assembly and balance requirements to make your Flycam HD Stabilizer fully
funconal you will note that the base plaorm 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 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.

The up and down (vercal) posion of the tele-
scopic central post is adjusted by loosening the
control located at the base, raising or lowering the
stalk to achieve desired locaon and then reght-
ening the vercal control.
Do not over-ghten this control.
