  • I think for the money it is definetly worth it - ive yet to fly it comparing to the flyer (£5000) but its a good comparison.

    Im taking the bearing apart and replacing the grease with 3 in 1 oil so will post an updated spin test.

  • @oliew Hi any updates? I have cleaned my flycam 5000 bearing (wd40 to clean out grease, then massive massive amounts of bike teflon oil many many times) now it's freer but still not frictionless. I think for the 5000, the bearing balls are too huge (rotational energy, and larger surface). Also, how is the gimbal's center on the 6000? I had to rework the gimbal a lot on the 5000. Thanks for your video!

  • Hi Olie!

    Wish to see both rigs rotation again, but with flycams bearing cleaned.

  • What do you think of the

    1) Bottom weight support thread (someone says that they lost the thread)

    2) The fact (I presume) that the verticle position of the gimble can not be moved up and down.

    3) The overall build quality?

  • So honestly, the Flycam 600 worth it or not?
