- Page 2 FlowPod was designed with versatility in mind, you may discover other creative ways to use it, but first read these WARNINGS - We do not suggest running at full speed with the FlowPod, as you could trip or collide with something, possibly resulting in injury or damage to your gear.

In practice, this means you want the section of the FlowPod below the gimbal to be effectively ‘heavier’ than the upper section (vertical balance), and you want the camera’s mass to be centered on the pan axis of the gimbal to keep the camera level (horizontal balance). Vertical balance is adjusted by attaching counterweights (usually on the lower section of the FlowPod), while horizontal balance is adjusted by positioning the X-Y plate side-to-side and front-to-back.
- Page 4 6. Vertical Balance - Now you can check the vertical balance of the FlowPod to see if you need to add, remove, or adjust the position of the counterweights. Use as few weights as possible, and start with the weights at the top of the shaft. When vertically balanced, the FlowPod should not lean or sway when moved around.
- Page 5 MONOPOD MODE 1. To use the FlowPod in monopod mode, you should lock the handle in place and tighten the brake. 2. To extend the leg sections of the monopod pull out on the hinges and slide each section out, then lock the hinges back in place.

Although the simple guidelines in the instructions explain how to balance the unit, the art of balancing the FlowPod is really in acquiring a feel for correct balance. After balancing your camera properly one time, it’s a simple matter to do it again.
