STEADICAM FLYER BALANCE


Rich Steel

Recommended Posts

Hello Folks,

 

Can anyone tell me if you can achieve dynamic balance with the flyer? Is there enough adjustments on the unit to help achieve DB. Just curious as I was looking at buying one as more often than not I'm shooting with the HVX200 and I'm sick of humping the damn thing into a weight cage just to fly on my Master system.

 

I've downloaded the manual from tiffen but the instructions look very similiar to the old SK system, which I owned many years ago and I know I couldn't achieve DB with that so thats why I'm asking if this newer model has more functionality/adjustment.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi Rich

 

You can achieve dynamic balance with the Flyer with cameras ranging from the Z-1 to the DSR-450 (was demonstrastrating that one yesterday). The drill is to angle the battery mount downwards instead of backwards. I have yet to try the HVX but any accessories that you can add for extra weight will be helpful.
