Safety Hints

• Always hold the camera when working with Flycam Flowline. There is safety belt which you attach to camera and hook on the jacket.
• Never undo the waist buckle when camera is attached to Flycam Flowline! The weight of camera will pull the top of Flycam Flowline down, and you might lose control of camera.
• It is important that Support Arm is vertical. The weight of camera should primarily be on your hips. If it is lopsided, the load will be unevenly distributed on hips and camera might hit the Arm.

• The hip/waist belt should be tightened so that the rig doesn't slide down around the hips. Shoulder Strap is mainly for balancing the Flowline, and prevent it from tilting.

• If the shoulder arm is too high or too low, first try adjusting the Support Arm in relation to Support Jacket or hip/waist belt. It is also possible to adjust the tube inside Support Arm, but that might require adjusting the tightness of Suspension Line.

• If you work with the Flycam Flowline under special conditions, i.e. in a car, boat, plane or helicopter, make sure to use Safety Belt.
• If you don't use your Flycam Flowline for more than a couple of months, make sure to store it standing upwards. Otherwise the shock absorber gasket might dry out.

Friendly Tips

• It is as simple to put the Flowline on as a backpack. Just don't forget to adjust it so it feels comfortable.
• When attaching the hook onto camera, you might find it easier to put the camera on a table or bench. Try and find right balance before you secure the hook.
• Try to keep the camera as close to your body as possible, to avoid unnecessary strain on your back.
• When filming upwards, you might find it easier if you have the camera tucked under your arm.
• When shooting at hip or knee level, lean backwards when pushing the camera forward; thus minimizing the load on your back. You can attach LCD screen, to get better control of the shot.
• When shooting at hip level during longer periods of time, rest the camera on hip/waist belt to increase stability.
