COMPONENT FEATURES

VISTA DV VEST

Our Vista DV Vest is comfort designed to t and easily distribute the weight of the FLYCAM

Vista, camera and accessories across the shoulders, back and hips of the operator. With its six

point suspension system, two snap locks on the shoulder pads, two 26 inch waist belts and an-

other two at the center of the vest all Velcro secured, this lightweight and comfortable Support

Vest can be custom adjusted to t a wide range of body types. For safety, quick release snap

locks and buckles allow the vest to be removed quickly.

FLYCAM VISTA ARM

Our innovave lightweight single arm design has a manually adjustable steel tension spring

that maintains stabilizer posion in relaonship to the total load carried. Easy to operate,

exceponally smooth and quiet, it can carry cameras weighing up to 12 pounds. The single

arculang arm can be operated from either the right or le side.

Spring tension allows the operator to set the desired amount of elascity in the spring for

personal preference High, Medium or Low. The knob control located in the mid secon of the

arm is used to ‘dial in’ tension adjustments as required.

THE POST

The FLYCAM C5 has a built in telescopic post used to help balance

the camera and accessories. Loosen the control knob to adjust the

height as you aempt to balance and then re-ghten for safety. You

may have to do this a few mes to ‘get it right.’

THE GIMBAL CONTROL UNIT

Our Gimbal control unit has been completely re-designed with high

load bearings. The body, yoke and handle are precision engineered

to perfectly match for total control.

FLYCAM VISTA– I STABILIZATION SYSTEM 7

CENTERING THE GIMBAL CONTROL UNIT

 Place the control unit on the docking stud (as you would for normal balancing), give

yourself a four second drop me (2 or more seconds), and aim the camera along a line

through the two bearings in the yoke.

 Balance side to side and fore-a as precisely as you can to get the post vercal. We

recommend you use a bubble level on the stage. Tweak the fore-a balance as precisely as

you can, then do not touch the stage adjustments for the rest of the procedure.

 If the sled does not hang perfectly level, move the whole sled “uphill” with the yoke

bearings.

 Adjust the yoke bearings equally i.e. loosen one and ghten the other the same amount

and do it in small increments.

 If it gets worse, you chose the wrong one to loosen! If is gets beer, keep going unl it is

perfect. Do not rebalance fore and a at this stage.

THE BASE PLATFORM

The base plaorm moves fore and a as well as side-to-side al-

lowing you to quickly adjust the horizontal balance of your cam-

era and accessories. Vercal adjustment starts with adding coun-

ter weights as needed. When proper balance has been achieved,

your camera and accessories almost oat providing uid like

movement and control.

ATTACHING THE CAMERA

 Aach the FLYCAM Head to the central post.

 Secure using the provided L’ key.

 Insert the C5 post into the base plaorm and ghten with

the ‘L’ key.

FLYCAM VISTA– I STABILIZATION SYSTEM 8

 Remove the top plate from the base plate by loosening the

blue knob, aach your camera to the plate and ghten it.

 Insert the camera plate into the base plate.

 At the base of your FLYCAM where the base plaorm con-

nects is a lever control that allows you to lengthen or short-

en the stalk to help achieve proper balance. Loosen to ad-

just the stalk up and down and make sure to re-ghten to

secure.

BALANCING OF FLYCAM C5 HEAD

FLYCAM VISTA– I STABILIZATION SYSTEM 9

BALANCING YOUR FLYCAM C5 STABILIZER

When your FLYCAM C5 is assembled and properly set up, test the horizontal balance of the

system. The objecve in obtaining correct horizontal balance is to allow the Camera to re-

main level during operaon. In other words, if the FLYCAM C5 is horizontally balanced cor-

rectly, then the Camera will remain leveled, and the Central Post will remain vercal unless

you intenonally re-posion the FLYCAM C5 for an o axis shot. When proper horizontal bal-

anced is achieved, it will always return to a level pan, lt, or roll pressure on the Central Post.

When tesng for correct horizontal balance pick up your FLYCAM from a at and level sur-

face (e.g. table) and let the FLYCAM hang freely as you hold it. If the FLYCAM is balanced cor-

rectly on its horizontal axis, it will be leveled up right, with the Central Post in a perfect ver-

cal posion.

Aer mounng the camera onto the FLYCAM C5, add the balancing weights to match the

weight of the camera as shown above.

Before beginning the balancing process check the following:

 Camera is securely aached to head plate.

 Lens cap has been removed and secured.

 Bracket mounts have been ghtened properly.

 Weights are added successfully.

 All the screws are ghtened securely.

 Monitor mount and Baery mount are aached properly.

 All the wires are secured properly.

 The Gimbaled Control Unit should beneath the top of its post.

 Posion the monitor for preferred ‘eye line’ while factoring

overall system balance

Warning If you do not have enough weight on the Base Plaorm the enre FLYCAM will ip upside

down. Be prepared to catch it if this happens. You will need to add more weight to the base plate

and retest unl the FLYCAM remains right side up. The best way of adjusng the horizontal bal-

ance is to move the center of gravity of the Camera.

This can be accomplished by re-bolng the Camera to a dierent area of the Head Plate and Mid

Plate, either front to back or side to side with the Camera unit.

FLYCAM VISTA– I STABILIZATION SYSTEM 10

BALANCING THE VERTICAL 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,

 Look at the FLYCAM C5 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 FLYCAM C5 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 re-

quirement ll the post is straight up and down.

 The stability of the FLYCAM C5 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.

CHECK THE VERTICAL BALANCE BY USING THIS DROP TIME TEST:

A DROP TIME OF 2 - 2.5 SECONDS IS PREFERRED.

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

boom plate screws to make required adjustments.

CUSTOM FITTING YOUR DV VEST

 Having put your vest on, insert the hooks of the 26’’ long

straps into the appropriate aluminum buckle.

 Tighten both straps with Velcro for a comfortable t and lock

both with the aluminum buckles.

 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 than 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.
