designed for lm and video cameras. Redking works so well that it allows you to

shoot incredibly smooth and graceful shots even while going to extremes like

running up and down stairs or traveling over rugged terrain. And when it comes to

normal shoong, like walking or moving the camera slowly around someone, the

results are equally magical. All you need is your imaginaon, and you are ready to

portray it with our state-of-art handheld camera stabilizer.

Safety Hints

ATTENTION: PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE USING TO PREVENT SERIOUS DAMAGE TO

THE GEAR!

BE HIGHLY VIGILANT OF SURROUNDINGS

Check the area you will be shoong in, before shoong. Make sure your path is

clear. Look for obstacles and note anything you might run into or trip over. Extra

care is also necessary when tackling stairs and other kinds of uneven ground.

ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE GEAR

If you intend to shoot while moving fast or while traversing uneven terrain, do not

hesitate to wear protecve gear as knee or elbow pads, or a helmet.

DO NOT SHOOT IN UNSAFE CONDITIONS

Avoid situaons where one commonly falls like skis, skates or running in muddy

elds.

ADULT SUPERVISION IS RECOMMENDED

Minors using this product should have adult supervision.

FOLLOWING THESE GUIDELINES WILL PROVIDE BETTER SHOTS AND TROUBLE-FREE

OPERATION.

SHOULD YOU NEED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE IS

AVAILABLE ‘ONLINE’ BY CONTACTING YOUR SALES REPRESENTATIVE.

Assembling

 A threaded stud is located in the center of Base Plaorm for aaching Central Post.

Securely ghten the adjustment knob on telescoping clamp by rotang it clockwise.

NOTE: The adjustment knob should only be ghtened by hand. Do not over-ghten it as it could

cause thread stripping.

 Loosen allen bolts at the boom of Camera Plate, align its holes with the top of Central Post

& re-ghten them securing the plate to post.

 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.

 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.

 Secure the counter weight plate by

using the black thumb nuts to prevent

weight movement.

NOTE: Remember to leave at least 1” of the telescoping post showing below the telescoping

clamp.

 The easiest way to correctly align the

parts is loosen the screw on the top

part of telescoping clamp, using allen

wrench, unl you can rotate the parts

so they are correctly aligned. Then

simply re-ghten the screw.

 All the parts of your Redking Stabilizer

will be correctly aligned, as shown.

Balancing the Horizontal Axis—Stac Balancing

Fine tune side-to-side or fore/a balance with the knobs on camera plaorm. Hold the sled

absolutely vercal as you adjust. Turn the adjustment knobs with your other hand (or use the

stage motor transmier) unl you feel no pressure on your operang hand and the sled will be in

stac balance.

 Now that your Flycam Redking Camera

Stabilizer is setup and assembled

properly, you can test and setup the

horizontal balance of the system. If the

Stabilizer is horizontally balanced

correctly, then camera will remain level

and central post will remain vercal

during operaon, unless you

intenonally posion stabilizer otherwise

or release any pan, lt or roll pressure on

central post.

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

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

hold it.

Note: If you do not have enough counter weight on the base plaorm at this me, the enre Sta-

bilizer will ip completely upside down. If this happens add more counter weight below unl dur-

ing this test the Stabilizer remains up.

 If Stabilizer lts to the front, then you will

have to turn Adjustment Knob counter

clockwise. If it sll lts to front, then

move dovetail quick release plate more

towards back by turning knob. If

Stabilizer lts to the back, then move

dovetail quick release plate towards front

by turning the knob clockwise. Always

secure dovetail quick release plate lock

aer any adjustments. If you cannot get

the front to back axis balanced with this

method, then try re-mounng your

camera to a dierent posion on dovetail

quick release plate.

Balancing the Vercal Axis – Dynamic Balancing

Dynamic balance is extremely important for precise operaon. For each arrangement of camera,

monitor posion, post length, accessories, etc., there are many possibilies for stacally

balancing the Steadycam. However, for each arrangement, there is only one combinaon that

also balances the sled dynamically.

Dynamic balance can easily be achieved by trial and error method.

In all cases, when a sled is in dynamic balance, the camera’s center of gravity will be towards rear

of the center line of central post. This rule gives you some point to begin balancing the

Steadycam.

Now that your Stabilizer is horizontally balanced, its vercal axis can be tested and properly

balanced. If the Stabilizer is vercally balanced correctly, then camera will remain level and cen-

tral post will remain vercal during operaon, unless you intenonally posion stabilizer other-

wise. If it is not balanced properly, then it will swing about and pendulums when you walk, run,

or turn.

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.

 Grasp Central Post near the base and move it from vercal to horizontal.

 Hold it there. Be sure that it will not hit the stand when you drop it. Keep your free hand to

catch the central post when it drops.

 Count how many seconds it takes to fall to vercal. Try using a stopwatch.

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

boom mass closer to post.

 If the drop me is more than 2 seconds, it is top heavy.

A DROP TIME OF 2 - 2.5 SECONDS IS PREFERRED.

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

screws to make required adjustments.

Holding Your FLYCAM stabilizer

When handling your Redking Video Camera 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.

 For shots that require framing the camera up, down or sideways, hold the handle rmly at

the boom.
