The purpose of counter weight system is to match the low end of stabilizer to weight of the camera and
accessories at the high/top end with the gimbal handle as the pivot point in between.
The heavier camera and accessories, the more weights are required to achieve proper balance. Generally
as you add weight to one side of central post, an equal amount has to be added to other side to maintain
horizontal balance.
The arm tension is adjusted for the heaviest camcorder, so when you apply the camcorder and sled on the
arm for the first time it does not stay down. Now adjust the arm for the weight of your camcorder:
Move the arm to the middle of its booming (up and down range) and let go. (If it stays where it is, you
are probably close to the right adjustment).
Keep making small adjustments until the camcorder does not rise or fall when you let go of it in the
middle of its booming range.

Bearing Maintenance
The Flycam GALAXY Arm contains the bearings. If aer some period of me your bearings don’t turn
smoothly as when new, you can oil it lightly with light lubricang oil. We recommend that you use a
minimum amount. Only a few drops are required, plus anything more than a lile will end up dripping
from the bearing and onto the rest of your Galaxy Arm. Be sure to keep the oil away from your Camera,
and clean up any over spill when done.
Cleaning
Do not use solvents or harsh cleaners of any kind on your Flycam Galaxy Arm & Vest. If the unit becomes
dirty, use only a cloth or sponge with water and a very mild detergent to gently rub the unit clean. Rinse
well.
Storage
If you are going to store your Flycam Galaxy Arm & Vest for a long period of me then please store the
unit up right in a dry or low to normal humidity area whenever possible.
If you are unable to nd an environment like this, then we suggest you store the unit in an airght plasc
container or bag. Standing the unit upright helps to alleviate stress on the system.
