• Heavy gyroscope units should be mounted low on the sled structure rather than on the camera to avoid making the rig top-heavy and unstable2012 Brackets/Widgets
• Gyroscopic stabilizers can be powered either through an onboard battery with an inverter or through tethered offboard power.2012 Brackets/Widgets
• Removing the stopper that prevents the arm from rotating beyond 180 degrees outward improves handling in most situations and allows the arm to fold up more compactly when moving the rig sideways, making it easier to traverse the body.2009 Arms
