Dynamic balance is achievable with the Flyer when used with cameras ranging from compact models to professional camcorders like the DSR-450.
Angling the battery mount downward rather than backward helps achieve dynamic balance on the Flyer.
Adding extra weight accessories to lighter cameras like the HVX200 improves gimbal positioning on the Flyer.
The HVX200 can be successfully balanced on the Flyer, though modest additional weight improves the setup.

The specific accessories and weight configurations mentioned were not detailed in the discussion.
Only brief anecdotal experience was shared; no systematic testing methodology was described.
The discussion does not explain the technical reasons why angling the battery mount affects dynamic balance.
