 The length of the chest plate can be adjusted according to the height of the person by using this adjusting screw.

NOTE: Properly set up and custom fit, your vest should look like the provided picture. Straps are made of through nylon and industrial strength Velcro and can be easily replaced or adjusted to suit individual needs.

 Loosen the knobs & insert Arm’s male socket into female socket of vest as shown in image.

Arm Adjustment

The arm tension is adjusted for the heaviest camcorder, so when you apply the camcorder and sled on the arm for the first time it does not stay down. Now adjust the arm for the weight of your camcorder:

 Move the arm to the middle of its booming (up and down range) and let go. (If it stays where it is, you are probably close to the right adjustment).

Keep making small adjustments until the camcorder does not rise or fall when you let go of it in the middle of its booming range.

Position arm



Move the camcorder to your left so the arm crosses your body.

 Adjust the arc of your arm so the rig feels comfortable to you.



Keep the camcorder close to your body.

Maintenance

Bearing Maintenance

The Flycam GALAXY Arm contains the bearings. If after some period of time your bearings don’t turn smoothly as when new, you can oil it lightly with light lubricating oil. We recommend that you use a minimum amount. Only a few drops are required, plus anything more than a little will end up dripping from the bearing and onto the rest of your Galaxy Arm. Be sure to keep the oil away from your Camera, and clean up any over spill when done.

Cleaning

Do not use solvents or harsh cleaners of any kind on your Flycam Galaxy Arm & Vest. If the unit becomes dirty, use only a cloth or sponge with water and a very mild detergent to gently rub the unit clean. Rinse well.

Storage

If you are going to store your Flycam Galaxy Arm & Vest for a long period of time then please store the unit up right in a dry or low to normal humidity area whenever possible.

If you are unable to find an environment like this, then we suggest you store the unit in an airtight plastic container or bag. Standing the unit upright helps to alleviate stress on the system.
