 It is as simple to put the Flowline on as it is with backpack. Just don’t forget to adjust it so it feels
comfortable.
 The weight of the camera should primarily be on your hips. It is important that support bar is
vercal-if it is lopsided, the load will be unevenly distributed on the hips and the camera might hit
the bar.
 The hip belt should be ghtened so that the rig doesn’t slide down or around the hips. The
shoulder strap is mainly for balancing the Flowline, and prevent it from lng.
 If the shoulder arm is too high or too low, rst try adjusng the support bar in relaon to the hip
belt/vest. It is also possible to adjust the tube inside the support bar, but that might require
adjusng the ghtness of suspension line. Note that there must not be more than 10cm (4 in)
between the lower end of the tube and the adjustment ring.
 When aaching the hook onto the camera, you might nd it easier to put the camera on a table
or a bench rst. Try and nd the right balance before you secure the hook.
 Don’t forget to fasten the safety belt.

H i p Sh o t s
 Flycam Flowline gives you the freedom to shoot from various levels. You simply move the camera
down from your shoulder as you would in an ordinary handheld situaon - only now you don’t
feel more than a fracon of the camera’s weight.
When shoong at hip level, lean backwards when pushing the camera forward, thus minimising the
load on your back.
 The length of the suspension line makes it possible to move the camera as far as your arms reach.
F r i e n d l y T i p s
 Try to keep the camera as close to your body as possible, to avoid unnecessary strain on your
back.
 When lming upwards, you might nd it easier if you have the camera tucked under your arm.
 When lming at hip or knee level, you can remove the eye piece in order to see beer. You could
also aach LCD screen, to get beer control of the shot.
 When shoong at hip level during longer periods of me, rest the camera on hip belt to increase
stability.
 Avoid geng your clothing creased under the hip belt since it may cause discomfort.
 Use the Flycam Flowline for transporng your camera to and from the lming site.
 When folding Flycam Flowline, always make sure to put the upper part of the support arm inside
the hip belt and fasten the buckle at the back of hip belt. This will prevent the suspension line
Safety Precauon
 Always hold the camera when working with Flycam Flowline. There is safety belt which you aach
to camera and hook on the vest.
 Never undo the hip belt buckle when the camera is aached to Flycam Flowline! The weight of
the camera will pull the Top of the Flycam Flowline down, and you might loose control of the
camera.
 If you fall into water when wearing the Flycam Flowline, it’s important to get the equipment o
quickly. Just release the hip belt and shoulder strap buckles and slide the shoulder strap over your
arm.
 Be especially careful when lming in rough terrain. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes and
clothing.
 If you work with the Flycam Flowline under special condions, i.e. in a car, boat, plane or
helicopter, make sure to use a safety belt.
from wearing.
 When lming with a cable, fasten it to the Flycam Flowline in order to maintain stability.
 If you don’t use your Flycam Flowline for more than a couple of months, make sure to store it
standing up. Otherwise the shock absorber gasket might dry out.
