FLYCAM REDKING VIDEO CAMERA STABILIZER 6

NOTE: The second method of alignment is

beer because it keeps the telescoping clamp

adjustment knob aligned correctly. Having

the telescoping clamp adjustment knob

aligned correctly, although not technically

needed to make your Stabilizer funcon

correctly, does make it easier to reach the

telescoping clamp adjustment knob later

when in use.

Now that your Flycam Redking Video Camera

Stabilizer is setup and assembled properly,

you can test and setup the horizontal balance

of the system. The objecve in achieving

correct horizontal balance for the Stabilizer is

to allow the camera to remain level during

operaon, given that you are not applying

either a pan, lt, or roll type hand pressure

to the Stabilizer. In other words, if the

Stabilizer is horizontally balanced correctly,

then the camera will remain level, and the

central post will remain vercal, unless you

intenonally posion Stabilizer otherwise.

Also, if the Stabilizer is horizontally balanced

correctly it will always return to a level and

vercal posion aer you release any pan,

lt, or roll pressure on the central post.

When tesng for correct horizontal balance you need to make sure that you pick up your

Stabilizer from a at surface (a table for example) and that you let the Stabilizer hang freely as

you hold it. If the Stabilizer is balanced correctly, on it’s horizontal axis, then it will be level with

the central post in a virtually perfect vercal posion.

Most likely your Stabilizer will not be balanced and so you will have to adjust it unl it is balanced.

WARNING: If you do not have enough counter weight on the base plaorm at this me, the

enre Stabilizer will ip completely upside down. If this happens add more counter weight below

unl during this test the Stabilizer remains right side up.
