ADDING WEIGHTS AND POSITIONING FOR PROPER BALANCE
Continuing the assembly and balance requirements to make your FLYCAM DSLR Nano-HD fully
functional you will note that the base platform has a provision to mount the balance weights on
weight plate via knobs on both sides of the post.
The purpose of the counter weight system is to match the low end of the stabilizer to the weight of
the camera and accessories at the high/top end with the gimbaled handle as the pivot point in
between. The heavier the camera and accessories, the more weights are required to achieve proper
balance. Generally as you add weight to one side of the central post, an equal amount has to be
added to the other side to maintain horizontal balance. However if you are using an offset
configuration such as a flip out viewfinder or off center accessories, extra weights might be needed
on the opposite side of the post to counter act and maintain proper balance.
Total weight fixed to the base platform should be equal to the weight of your camera plus the head
and any accessories.
Horizontal adjustment
on base platform is made by loosening retaining screws and moving
mounted plates closer to or further away from stalk and then retightening. You will probably need
to adjust and re adjust horizontal position to achieve optimum performance/personal preference.
NOTE
When adding weight in the cups, use the supplied foam spacers as silencers to prevent metal
to metal washer noise.
