The sled should be ed up to the docking adapter of your stand or similar so that you can start
the fore & aer balancing adjustments by centering the camcorder over the central post. To do
this:
Loose side screws of head plate and boom screws of the boom plate.
Look at Flycam HD Handheld video stabilizer from the side. If the camcorder lens is pped up
or down, move the camcorder forward or backwards unl the center of balance is situat-
ed over the central post.
Then, look at the Flycam HD Handheld video stabilizer from the front. If the post is not ver-
cal, adjust boom plate unl the center post is vercal.
You can also adjust weight discs closer to & further away from the sled as per requirement
ll the post is not vercal.
The stability of the Flycam HD Stabilizer depends on it being slightly boom heavy. If it is top
heavy, it will lt more. If it is too boom heavy, it will be sluggish and hard to aim.
Make sure that everything is ght and posion yourself behind the stand.
Grasp the center post near the base and move the center post from vercal to horizontal.
Hold it there. Be sure that it will not hit the stand when you drop the center post and put
your free hand to catch the center post when it drops.
Count how many seconds it will take to fall to vercal. Try using a stopwatch.
If the drop me is less then 2 seconds, it is too boom heavy. You need to move the
boom mass closer to the post.
If the drop me is more than two seconds, it is top heavy.
