Silk Setup
Overview
This section outlines the setup of the Silk and mounting of your
camera. In general the first time you set up your Silk for your
camera you should anticipate about 15-20 minutes of time to
properly balance and complete the setup. After this is done the first
time any subsequent adjustments needed for alternative camera
setups should be able to be done in a shorter amount of time (5-10
mins max).
If you are planning to run several different camera configurations
we recommend balancing and testing each setup before you film.
Once you find your adjustment points for your each of your setups
you can make index markings on the adjustment points using a fine
tip marker, this will allow for much quicker adjustments later when
you are switching gear.
