Introducon

Please inspect the contents of your shipped package to ensure you have received

everything that is listed below.

What’s In The Box

Central Post

HEAD ASSEMBLY

 Head Plate

 Mid Plate

 Boom Plate

These three individual pieces are shipped as one assembled unit.

‘V’ SHAPED ADAPTORS INCLUDED IN HARDWARE KIT

Note: Included in the hardware package are two dier-

ent sized V-shaped adaptors used to aach the cam-

era to the head plate. Choose the one that is suitable

for your camera. A locking pin located at the front of

the adaptor prevents camera rotaon on the head.

Note: The threaded stud is located in the center of the

base plate for aach it with central post.

The boom of the interior central post has a threaded

slot that matches the pin located mid base on the

plaorm. To aach the two, simply thread them

together and ghten to ensure a slip free connecon.

Alignment should end up with the central post being

perpendicular to the base plaorm. This will make

camera balancing and operaon much easier.

CENTRAL POST

Warning: The Gimbaled control unit, handle and yoke

have been factory set for opmum performance.

Do not aempt to adjust them.

ATTACHING CENTRAL POST TO BASE PLATFORM

 Loosen the 2x allen bolts at boom of the camera plate and align the holes with the top of

the central post. Reghten the allen bolts securing the head to the stalk.

 Remove the Head plate from the

3-piece head assembly in preparaon

to aach it to your camera. You will

note a number of mounng holes that

can be used to adapt to various

cameras.

 Center the head plate on the camera and ghten the allen bolt with the help of screw driver.

Align the camera center of balance to the mid plate and secure the head plate and camera to

the mid plate.

Aaching The Head Plate to Central Post

 Aer proper alignment, ghten the 2x

Knobs to secure the camera.

 The many slots located on the head plate and boom plate allow you to easily adjust the X

& Y axis for perfect balance. Once achieved, ghten the knobs to secure. Further ‘ne

tuning’ will probably be required.

Adding Weights and Posioning for Proper Balance

Connuing the assembly and balance requirements to make your ycam Junior fully funconal

you will note that the base plaorm has a provision to mount the balance weights in their cups

via a slot found 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 oset

conguraon such as a ip out viewnder or o center accessories, extra weights might be

needed on the opposite side of the post to counter act and maintain proper balance.

Total weight xed to the base plaorm should be equal to the weight of your camera plus the

head and any accessories.

Horizontal adjustment on the base plaorm is made by loosening the retaining screws and

moving the mounted cups closer to or further away from the stalk and then reghtening. You will

probably need to adjust and re adjust the horizontal posion to achieve opmum performance/

personal preference.

NOTE: When adding weight in the cups, use the supplied foam spacers as silencers to prevent

metal to metal washer noise.

VERTICAL STALK ADJUSTMENT

The up and down (vercal) posion of the

telescopic central post is adjusted by

loosening the control located at the base,

raising or lowering the stalk to the desired

locaon and then reghtening the vercal

control. Do not over-ghten this control.

BALANCING YOUR FLYCAM JUNIOR

Before beginning the balancing process check the following

 Camera is securely aached to head plate.

 Lens cap has been removed and secured.

 Telescoping clamp has been ghtened.

 Weight discs are added successfully.

 All screws are ghtened securely.

 Baery, all accessories and cables should be secured.

Balancing the Horizontal axis

When your ycam junior is properly assembled, you can start the test and setup of the

horizontal balance. Horizontal balance allows the camera to remain level during operaon with

the central post in a vercal posion unless o axis framing is desired.

When tesng for horizontal balance start from a at and level surface like a table. This will allow

the ycam junior to hang freely as you hold it. If your ycam junior is correctly balanced on its

horizontal axis, then it will be both level & upright, with the central post in a perfect vercal

posion.

Warning: If you do not have enough weight on the base plaorm the enre ycam could ip

upside down. Should this movement start to happen be ready to catch the stalk before a

complete 180 occurs. This type of unwanted movement requires more weight to be added to the

base with addional weight discs.

Another way to accomplish horizontal balance is to move the center of gravity of the camera by

re-bolng the camera to a dierent area of the Head and Mid Plate, either front to back or side

to side.

Should the ycam junior be front heavy, loosen the screws on the sides of the head plate and

gently slide the head plate back unl opmum balance is achieved.

Tilng to the back means the load is tail heavy requiring the plate to be adjusted forward on the

head.

Always secure the screws aer any adjustments.

If you cannot achieve front to back axis balance with this method, then try remounng your

camera to a dierent hole on the head plate. Having achieved horizontal balance for the front to

back axis, ghten the screws on the Head Plate.

If the ycam junior leans to the right, then loosen the screws on the boom of the boom plate

and then gently slide the Mid Plate to the le. If it leans to the le from the operator’s point of

view, then adjust the Mid Plate to the right. A bit at a me unl balance is achieved.

Secure all parts aer adjustments are made.

It may be necessary to recongure front to back adjustments once correct side-to-side

ne-tuning has been accomplished.

Another opon to consider is moving the counter weight cups back & forth on the base plaorm

by sliding them either closer to or further away from the Center Post via the built in base slots.

Make sure to ghten the cups down should you move them.

Balancing the Vercal Axis

The sled should be ed up to the docking adapter of your stand or similar so that you can start

the fore & a balancing adjustments by centering the camcorder over the central post. To do this

 Loosen the side screws of the head plate and the boom screws of the boom plate.

 Look at the ycam junior from the side. If the camcorder lens is pped up or down, move the

camcorder forward or backwards unl the center of balance is situated over the central

post.

 Then, look at the ycam junior from the front. If the post is not vercal, adjust the boom

plate unl the center post is vercal.

 You can also adjust the weight cups closer to & further away from the sled as per the

requirement ll the post is straight up and down.

Note: The stability of the ycam junior depends on it being slightly boom heavy. If it is top

heavy, it will lt more. If boom heavy, it will be sluggish and hard to aim.

Slightly boom heavy, it will be both stable and easier to control.
