When hand held smoothly circle around your subject, dutching, booming, and tilting on the fly, changing angles and framing just like in music videos. You can do chase scenes, go up and down stairs, jump off walls, go over picnic tables, follow people in cars, shoot weddings, receptions, love stories, sports, documentaries, choirs, plays, etc.

When body-mounted, it rests on your body and distributes the weight over the vest letting you zoom and focus with a heads up position with both eyes free to monitor or look for new scenes.

Universal camera base plate

The Camera Base plate has both 1/4" and 3/8" mounting slots (holes) to accommodate all variety of camera bases. You can slide your camera with base plate of steadycam on both the horizontal and vertical axes, achieved by means of thumbscrews and a movable camera base plate.

The camera platform:- moves back and forth, and side to side, to quickly allow you to adjust the cameras horizontal balance. By varying the amount of counterweight disks on the base platform you adjust the camera's vertical balance. When balanced properly the camera floats, ready for you to move into action.

Gimbal specifications:

1. Wheelbarrow bearing provides Rotational control over camera so the camera can be easily rotated on its axis.

2. Grip swavels left and right from the bolt. You can easily move whole steadycam up and down.

3. Angle bracket enables grip to move up and down.

The camera is mounted on one end of the 'Post', and the battery and monitor (and whatever special electronics the operator has added) are mounted to the other end.

Balancing the camera:

Weights are attached to rod by means of cups and screws.

A finely tuned weight distribution achieves a perfect balance. The first step in this balancing act is finding the equilibrium of you camera, and the easiest way to find this is by placing a your finger underneath the handle so that the camera is horizontal. You should then place the camera on top of the glidecam so that this point is over the top of the glidecam bar. But before attempting any kind of balance, ensure the camcorder is set exactly how you intend to shoot: the viewscreen in position, the lens cap removed, a tape in the camera and finally a battery and any other accessories in place. Adding any of the above after balancing will inevitably result in re-balancing.

BODY POD

This is a lightweight rigid support system and comfortable which is used with Flycam 5000. It takes the stabilizer's weight out of your hands and arms and displaces the weight onto your waist and shoulders. The body pod supports your camcorder stabilizing flycam shooting with your stabilizer attached to the rigid support of the Body-pod still yields results that are far better than unstabilized, hand-held shooting or shoulder supported shooting.
