It tames high/low arm travel with adjustable- length crankshafts that dynamically rock the spring termination as the arm is boomed up or down. Powered by titanium springs, the G-50x arm smoothly carries any load from 12 to 50 pounds (5.4 to 23 kg).

Adjusting the ride or “iso-elasticity” The G-70x and G-50x arms have an adjustable active link as part of the “Geo” feature. This adjustable Setting Ride link gives the operator greater control over the dynamic changes, and thus more control over the arm’s performance.

Setting Lift Adjusting the ride: the arm must be angled up at the top of its range. Note: the ride knob is horizontal, the lift knob is nearly vertical. Adjustment of Lift: All lift adjustments must be done while wearing the rig, standing properly, and with your normal threads in the vest to arm connection.

Adjusting iso-elastic response: With the arm set to carry the load, we micro-adjust the Ride. If we dialed in too much iso-elasticity, the arm segments will “hang up” at Iso-elastic the upper or lower extremes of boom travel. If we dialed in too little iso- elasticity, the arm may not track well in the middle of its range.
