    Introduction Flycam introduces its professional and rugged Redking handheld video stabilizer; designed for film 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 shooting, like walking or moving the camera slowly around someone, the results are equally magical.

    Assembling  A threaded stud is located in the center of Base Platform for attaching Central Post. Securely tighten the adjustment knob on telescoping clamp by rotating it clockwise NOTE: The adjustment knob should only be tightened by hand. Do not over-tighten it as it could cause thread stripping.

  • Page 13 Be sure to keep oil away from your camera, & clean up any over spill. Cleaning Do not use solvents or harsh cleaners of any kind on your Flycam Hand held stabilizer. If the unit becomes dirty, use a damp soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent to gently clean external parts.
