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 direction you wish to shoot and frame shot.
For normal shooting, hold the handle in middle.
For shots that require framing the camera up, down or sideways, hold the handle firmly at
bottom.
This will allow the yoke part of gimbal to rotate without hitting 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.
Bearing Maintenance:
The main bearing on HD stabilizer is attached to Central Post about two
inches from top. It is of metal construction and partially enclosed by bearing assembly. If after a
period of time your bearings don’t turn smoothly, lubricate with a minimum quantity of light
lubricating 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 soft 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 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 bag.
Standing the unit upright is preferred as it alleviates stress on the system.
Maintenance
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 getting dirt
or sand in them.
