Initial Setup
Handle Position
Just for reference we call the side of your stabilizer with the fluid damping and the
‘Scotty’ rosette knobs the ‘back’ and this side should always face you when
filming. This way you can make adjustments on the fly.
Now you’ll start with the modules in ‘Upright’
mode. Even if you’re planning on using your
stabilizer predominantly with the modules
inverted you’ll find it easier to set up and
balance in ‘Upright’ mode first before moving to
‘Inverted’ mode.
Loosen the Rosette Knobs until
the handles can be rotated.
I prefer my handles pointing out
at around a 10 degree angle but
this is just my preference so
whatever angle you’re
comfortable with. Some people
like the handles rotated in
slightly as it narrows the width
for a narrower grip and more compact form. Once both sides are at the same
angle just tighten up the Rosette knobs making sure that the rosette teeth are
meshed together and locked in place. You don’t need to overtighten these knobs,
just tighten until you meet a firm resistance. You may find if you’re shooting for
instance while ‘crabbing’ to the side that adjusting the handles independently to
different angles may be more ergonomic for you.
