FLYCAM REDKING VIDEO CAMERA STABILIZER 11

 Find hole in the plate that is as close to threaded tripod mount on your camera as possible

(while you are sll holding your camera's center of gravity to the center of the plate).

Aach your camera (or quick release mount if you have one). Tighten it down so it won't

accidentally rotate.

 Re-aach top plate to the FLYCAM . Center it, but don't worry about geng it absolutely

perfect yet.

 Remove most of the weights from Base Plaorm, but leave one on each side.

 Insert the center post as far as it will go and ghten so it won't slide out.

 Hold the handle normally and turn the FLYCAM so that it is horizontal to the ground. Let go

of the stalk while keeping a rm grip on the handle and count how long it takes to return to

vercal again. You should be able to count a good, "One-one thousand, two-one

thousand", before it rights itself. With only two lile weights it might take considerably

longer.

 Add one pair of weights at a me and repeat the "horizontal to vercal" test unl it falls at

the correct rate. It will probably not be perfect.

 You'll get one that's too slow and then you'll add a pair and it will fall too fast. When that

happens, take o the last pair of weights that you added.

 Tighten down the weights so they don't slide around.

 To get count perfect, slightly lower the center post that aaches the Base Plaorm with

the weights unl you get the "one-one thousand, two one thousand" count to the vercal

posion.

 Fine-tune the le-right, forward-backward balance. You will have to go back and forth

between the two direcons to get the balance just right. Loosen the screw sets that allow

the sled to move le and right. Adjust the top plate so that it is centered and ghten down

the screws like you would a re slowly and alternang side to side.

 Repeat for "forward-backward" balancing.

 Check to see if your camera is sing level. If not, repeat the necessary steps unl it does.

 Pracce walking/movements ensuring your body moon is not transmied to your

hands and then the FLYCAM and camera.
