3. Stabilizer/Gimbal Attachment
The Vista-II arm is compatible with most stabilizers and gimbals featuring a Ø16mm mounting post with 22mm bushings. Secure your stabilizer or gimbal to the arm's mounting post.

4. Weight Adjustment and Balancing
The system includes dual springs and a spring tension adjustment knob to fine-tune the arm's response based on your camera setup's weight. Use the red springs for heavier setups (6-15 kg / 13-33 lb) and blue springs for lighter setups (2-6 kg / 4.4-13 lb).

Proper balancing is crucial for smooth operation. Adjust the spring tension until the arm floats neutrally with your camera setup attached. This ensures the arm effectively absorbs vertical movements.

Low Mode Operation
The versatile design of the arm allows for a wide vertical range of motion, including low mode shots. This enables creative camera angles and dynamic movements not possible with handheld operation alone.
ข้อควรระวังเพื่อความปลอดภัย
Always ensure all connections are secure before operating the system. Regularly check the tension of the springs and the tightness of all knobs and buckles. Use the included storage bag for safe transport to prevent damage.
