FLYCAM Nano Camera Stabilizer System 11
MAINTENANCE
Bearing Maintenance
The Main Bearing on your Flycam Nano Camera Stabilizer System is attached to the Central
Post about two inches from the top. It is of metal construction and partially enclosed by the
Bearing assembly.
If after a period of time your bearings don’t turn smoothly, lubricate with a minimum of light
machine oil. Light lubricating 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 Nano Camera Stabilizer. If
the unit becomes dirty, use a damp soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent to gently clean
external parts.
Storage
Should you need to store your Flycam Nano for a long period of time then place the unit
upright in a dry or low to normal humidity area whenever possible. If you are unable to
find this kind of environment then we suggest you store the unit in an airtight plastic
container or bag.
Standing the unit upright is preferred as it alleviates stress on the system.
Note:
The Flycam Nano Camera Stabilizer System doesn’t work under water, nor is it
waterproof. Avoid direct exposure to rain, water spray or any other harsh environment. Also the
bearings are not sand/grit proof and need to be kept free of these contaminants. Avoid getting
dirt or sand in them.
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT - WALKING THE LINE
For shots that require framing the camera up, down or sideways, hold the handle firmly at the
bottom.
This will allow the “yoke” part of the gimbal to rotate without hitting your hand or knuckles
HOLDING THE FLYCAM NANO CAMERA STABILIZER
When handling your Nano Camera Stabilizer System one hand holds onto the handle while the
other is used to gently guide the camera in the direction you wish to shoot and frame the shot.
For normal shooting, hold the handle in the middle.
