Balancing 5D on a 'Fly Cam 5000'

[Manish Singh Baghel]

Hi,

I have a canon 5D with 24-105 kit lens and 'Fly Cam-5000' Camera stablizer. can anyone describe the process of balancing this? Any guidance is much appreciated.

 

Thank you

Were there instructions with it? Follow those to get the plate to sit where it needs to so it falls the right way and spins level, etc.

 

I know I had a helluvatime with a glide cam the first time I used it, but with patience you can get it.

 

Be careful though, the changing of the focal length on the zoom, and any weight changes, could throw it off. So make sure you have the camera rigged up where it needs to be for a shot.

Yeah Instructions were there but as you said it correctly it will need more practice.

Thank you Travis.
