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 Redking Video Camera 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.

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 second nature and provide producon value to all your set ups.
