I've seen this video before but i just noticed how much of a doof this guy is!! Notice when he puts the vest on,the chest pad is upside down!! Every single video he does for these guys he has something wrong!! The 6000 video is the best!! He has the monitor and battery mounts taped together with scotch tape!! Haha. If i were the owners of this company i would fire this guy and get someone that at least knows how to setup and fly a rig!!!

@ocd004 Yeh, its just a crap rig! 6000 pulls it off much better than the 5000!

@kameramanostrava Yeah there is operator error but also it looks like the rig is not static balanced. when the camera points forward it looks ok but as soon as the camera points to his left it's off balance. the rig just needs more work.

@ocd004 I have been using the flycam for about a year now. I now understand it's limitations. If I have to do it again I would have started out with something like a glidecam .

Yea i agree just coming up with my own one, thought that if i made it myself at least I'd get a welder, cut off saw, and angle grinder as an added bonus, plus to tell the truth the one arm with out the hinge just doesn't cut it for me. ill have to see how mine goes with the red-rock on it. my camera already weighs ten pounds

I have one, got it from this company and i am in the USA and they are in Italy. It got here in 4 days. and very pleased...

You hold flycam wrong! Your left arm is too down. You have to hold it in the center of gravity what is bearing!!

[kameramanostrava]

just look where is his left hand. .. he hold it wrong and this way is not video stable. He probably dont understand how it work.

I just ordered mine, curious about it (I have a JVC GY-HM100)

I think the product is fine, I cant say the same for the user.

I think it takes heaps of practise to get this working well.

Theres a definate art to working with a stabilizer.

I wouldnt write this system off until you see someone that can use it properly.
