Arm post tension adjustment on Flyer LE camera rig

15 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • The arm post on a Flyer LE uses a bushing rather than a bearing for the gimbal handle attachment point
  • Arm post rotation tension can be adjusted and is a matter of operator preference
  • Tightness adjustment on the arm post should not cause damage to the equipment

Depends on

  • The Flyer LE model may have limited or no tension adjustment capability compared to full-size arms
  • No specific guidance provided on what adjustment range is safe or optimal
