I found this setup at my company's back closet, way in the back. Not sure what model this is. I know it used to fly a XL-1 in 2001. I found the howto video, watch it learned the balancing. nice rig, will be fun to learn this technique.
The problem..... I'm using an HVX200 I really want to use my wideangle adapter but the weight is to much with adapter. the arm sags and bottoms out. I've try twisting the metal thumbknob helps some but needs more spring.
I've read a few post as I surf around inhere found info about rubberbands?
Any help you can provide me would be very appreciative.
