To get count perfect, slightly lower the center post that attaches the Base Platform with
the weights until you get the "one-one thousand, two one thousand" count to the vertical
position.
Fine-tune the left-right, forward-backward balance. You will have to go back and forth
between the two directions to get the balance just right. Loosen the screw sets that allow
the sled to move left and right. Adjust the top plate so that it is centered and tighten down
the screws like you would a tire slowly and alternating side to side.
Repeat for "forward-backward" balancing.
Check to see if your camera is sitting level. If not, repeat the necessary steps until it does.
Practice walking movements ensuring your body motion is not transmitted to your
hands and then the FLYCAM and camera.
Maintenance
Bearing Maintenance
The main Bearing on your Flycam Handheld Stabilizer 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 Hand held 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 Hand held stabilizer 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:
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 getting dirt or sand in them.
