User manual
Flycam Galaxy Arm & Vest with HD-3000PDF ↓07In action
Does the Flycam Stabilizer comes with the vest ?
Yes, the Flycam Stabilizer comes included with the Arm & Vest in this kit.
Can it be easily inverted for low angle shots?
The Flycam HD-3000 Stabilizer has a fixed gimbal position, so it isn’t designed for easy inversion. In a low-angle or inverted setup, maintaining proper balance can be challenging.
I am looking for a way to connect my flycam galaxy vest to DJI Ronin RSC2 gimbal.
You can attach the Flycam Galaxy arm and vest to DJI Ronin RSC2 gimbal with the help of Flycam Gimbal Adapter, below is the link for the same.
Flycam Gimbal Adapter -- https://proaim.be/products/flycam-arm-vest-gimbal-adapter"
Do the vest and arm help with stabilization?
Yes it does help, however the most important part of stabilization is first balancing the flycam initially. That would mean placing all items that will be used on the day of shooting (ie, Monitor, Battery, Camera, Lens, Wires, additional mounts, etc) for proper accuracy in the balancing process. It will take some time to correctly balance, but once you have the correct balance of the stabilizer, the arm and vest will be extremely helpful in the final stabilization.
Will this work with a glidecam 4000 and hd series?
Yes, it will perfectly work with your glidecam stabilizer.
What is the diameter of the main shaft?
The main shaft (spool adapter) has the diameter of 16mm. We provide two bushes to add onto it to make it easily adaptable to the stabilizers with the handle's inner diameter of 19mm and 22mm.
Does this Stabilizer come with the counterweight?

Excellent pro quality vest with smooth operation and great adjustments - especially at such an affordable price. Also comes with an extra alternate spring set (includes HQ camera shoe mount too). Can also be mounted for left or right hand operation. Of course, proper adjustment is needed on all vest systems to get best results including positioning of the stabilizer (and weights, which are also HQ).
Overall is good. The vest and arms are great. Easy to assemble and simple to use.
This unit is Fantastic! The smoothness is not to be believed. Have been into Video for 30years now (Has it been that long?) This is the best return for smooth independent filming. Ever wanted that walk along look you see in the movies? Dreamed of walking up stairs without all that jarring? Wanted to demonstrate how good a Video Camera is that has a 1" - Chip? You have GOT to get this. Once properly balanced the image is so smooth! We have gotten jobs just from showing up with the rig fully set ready to go. When we go to an event and everyone else has small DSLR's with gimbals and we have a 1" Pro Video unit with this suit. We get the job almost every time! Yeah for our side. You can put this on in less than a minute - AFTER you have it all balanced out. That is the secret - Balance. Take your time and you will be AMAZED at how sharp everything looks. The one surprise I found is that I can wear it for an hour with no discomfort. Rig it for your body size/shape. When done properly I just lean back a bit and it can give you Tripod steady instant interviews. GREAT conversation starter and very impressive! By the way. I am 60 and not in shape. So if I can do it - ANYONE can do it!
This thing works pretty great�
I cannot begin to tell you how this package has been amazing. The support arm movement is just as I like it. Thanks to its stabilization system, I can freely execute my camera movements without a camera shake. The support vest is also flexible enough to support my team. It is the best deal I have ever landed so thanks to the seller of such an amazing piece.
