Flycam introduces its professional and rugged RedKing handheld video stabilizer with

tremendous features which transforms shaky handheld footage into smooth, graceful shots. Its

precision camera mounng plaorm includes sliding dovetail quick release plate that oers quick

mounng and dismounng of your camera. The ne-tuning control knobs enable accurate

front-to-back and side-to-side adjustments for horizontal balancing. It has a lightweight and

sturdy telescopic centre post with guide scale marking for adjustable three axis gimbal to setup

low mode operaon rapidly. Telescopic post oers a safety knob to avoid the base from

detaching from the centre post. The dynamic base plaorm supports included counterweights

which can easily be expanded or contracted allowing you to adjust the balance and rotaonal

pan inera of the system. All you need is your imaginaon and you are ready to portray it with

our state-of-art handheld camera stabilizer.

Note: The threaded stud is located in the center of the base plate for aach it with central post.

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.

 Aach the quick release plate to the camera base. Slide the release lever to insert the

camera set up into quick release adapter. Return the lever to its original locked posion.

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

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

There are two ways to create this correct

alignment. The rst and easiest is to loosen

the adjustment knob on the telescoping

clamp and rotate the parts unl correctly

aligned, then simply reghten the

adjustment knob.

NOTE: Remember to leave at least one inch

of the telescoping post showing below the

telescoping clamp.

Secure the counter weight plate by using

the Black thumb nuts to prevent weight

movement.

 The second method to correctly align the parts is to use an allen wrench to loosen the

“Screw” on the top part of the telescoping clamp unl you can rotate the parts so they are

correctly aligned, then simply reghten the screw.

FLYCAM REDKING VIDEO CAMERA STABILIZER 6

NOTE: The second method of alignment is

beer because it keeps the telescoping clamp

adjustment knob aligned correctly. Having

the telescoping clamp adjustment knob

aligned correctly, although not technically

needed to make your Stabilizer funcon

correctly, does make it easier to reach the

telescoping clamp adjustment knob later

when in use.

Now that your Flycam Redking Video Camera

Stabilizer is setup and assembled properly,

you can test and setup the horizontal balance

of the system. The objecve in achieving

correct horizontal balance for the Stabilizer is

to allow the camera to remain level during

operaon, given that you are not applying

either a pan, lt, or roll type hand pressure

to the Stabilizer. In other words, if the

Stabilizer is horizontally balanced correctly,

then the camera will remain level, and the

central post will remain vercal, unless you

intenonally posion Stabilizer otherwise.

Also, if the Stabilizer is horizontally balanced

correctly it will always return to a level and

vercal posion aer you release any pan,

lt, or roll pressure on the central post.

B A L A N C I N G T H E H O R I ZO N TA L A X I S

When tesng for correct horizontal balance you need to make sure that you pick up your

Stabilizer from a at surface (a table for example) and that you let the Stabilizer hang freely as

you hold it. If the Stabilizer is balanced correctly, on it’s horizontal axis, then it will be level with

the central post in a virtually perfect vercal posion.

Most likely your Stabilizer will not be balanced and so you will have to adjust it unl it is balanced.

WARNING: If you do not have enough counter weight on the base plaorm at this me, the

enre Stabilizer will ip completely upside down. If this happens add more counter weight below

unl during this test the Stabilizer remains right side up.

FLYCAM REDKING VIDEO CAMERA STABILIZER 7

If the Stabilizer lts to the front, then you

will have to turn the adjustment knob

counter clockwise. If the Stabilizer sll

lts to the front, then move the dovetail

quick release plate more to the back by

turning the adjustment knob. If the Stabi-

lizer is lng to the back, then move the

dovetail quick release plate to the front by

turning the adjustment knob clockwise.

Always secure the dovetail quick release

plate lock aer any adjustments. If you

cannot get the front to back axis balanced

with this method then try remounng your

camera to a dierent posion on the

dovetail quick release plate.

Balancing the vercal axis now that your Stabilizer is horizontally balanced, it’s vercal axis can

now be tested and properly balanced. The objecve in obtaining correct vercal balance of the

Stabilizer is to allow the camera and Stabilizer to remain level during operaon, given you are

not applying either a pan, lt, or roll type of hand pressure to the Stabilizer, and most

importantly, that the Stabilizer remains vercal, even if you are walking, running, or turning,

while the Stabilizer is in operaon. In other words, if the Stabilizer is vercally balanced

correctly, then the camera will remain level, and the central post will remain vercal, unless you

intenonally posion the Stabilizer otherwise. If the Stabilizer is not vercally balanced properly,

then it will swing about and pendulum when you walk, run, or turn.

HOLDING YOUR FLYCAM STABILIZER

When handling your Flycam HD-5000 Handheld Stabilizer one hand holds onto the handle while

the other is used to gently guide the camera in the direcon you wish to shoot and frame the

shot. For normal shoong, hold the handle in the middle.

FLYCAM REDKING VIDEO CAMERA STABILIZER 8

NOTE: Make sure that your “GUIDING

HAND” and “HOLDING HAND” do not touch

either the bearing assembly or the “YOKE”

during shoong. For unconvenonal shots,

like ones that require aiming the camera

either straight up or down, or sideways, hold

onto the Stabilizer on the lower part of the

post, or down near the weight. This will

allow your “GUIDING HAND” to have a

greater degree of control over the Stabilizer

while shoong errac shots.

NOTE: The Flycam Redking Video Camera

Stabilizer being used in dierent ways.

Operang your Stabilizer for extended

periods of me can easily re your “HOLDING

HAND”. If fague sets in while shoong, you

can try operang the Stabilizer with your

other hand. You can also rest for a while by

placing the unit upright on a level surface,

docking the sled (if using the HD Series

Docking Bracket), or by laying it down on the

ground.

When handling and operang your Flycam

Redking Video Camera Stabilizer, always

avoid violent, jerking arm, and/or body

movements. Doing so could cause damage to

the unit, or cause your camera to pull loose

from the dovetail quick release plate.

The Flycam Redking Video Camera Stabilizer

is water resistant. The Flycam Redking Video

Camera Stabilizer does not work underwater,

nor is it waterproof (meaning the bearings

and of course your camera), so avoid direct

exposure to rain or water spray. Also, the

bearings are not sand proof, so avoid geng

dirt or sand into them.

For shots that require framing the camera

up, down or sideways, hold the handle rmly

at the boom.

FLYCAM REDKING VIDEO CAMERA STABILIZER 9

When operang the Flycam Redking Video Camera Stabilizer you will not be able to put your eye

right up to the eyecup on the viewnder. For doing so will cause the unit to be restricted in it’s

ability to stabilize and eliminate camera shake. Even though you cannot place your eye directly

up to the camera viewnder, you can either use the Camera’s built-in LCD MONITOR or aach an

external LCD MONITOR (not included) directly to the base plaorm of the Stabilizer. A 1/4”

Monitor “MOUNTING HOLE” is located at both the front and back edges of the base plaorm.

NOTE: You can also aach an external LCD MONITOR (not included) to the accessory shoe on the

top of your Camcorder. We believe that beer results are obtained when you aach the monitor

to the Flycam Redking Video Camera Stabilizer’s base, because this way you generally have to

look slightly down to see the Monitor. In doing so, your feet are more visible to your peripheral

vision. This makes negoang obstacles with the Stabilizer safer.

NOTE: The Flycam Redking Video Camera Stabilizer being used in low mode operaon.

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

Check the vercal balance by using this drop me test.

 Make sure that everything is ght and posion yourself behind the stand.

 Grasp the center post near the base and move the center post from vercal 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 vercal. Try using a stopwatch.

 If the drop me is less then 2 seconds, it is too boom heavy. You need to move the

boom mass closer to the post.

 If the drop me is more than two seconds, it is top heavy.

A DROP TIME OF 2 - 2.5 SECONDS IS PREFERRED.

Note: Recheck the balance by looking at the sled. If necessary, use side screws and boom plate

screws to make required adjustments.

BALANCING REVIEW

Proper system balance can only be achieved once your camera is set up with appropriate

accessories ready for shoong. This means baeries, lenses, media cards, LCD viewnder/

monitor, quick release plate, on-cam lights, and all the gear you will use for your recording ses-

sion.

 Remove top plate of FLYCAM and line up your camera so that its center of gravity is as close

to the center of the plate as possible (basically hold the camera in your hand unl it feels

balanced both le and right as well as forward and back).
