Flycam Flowline Overview

The Flowline Starter Support Vest and Spring Arm for Camera and Gimbals from FLYCAM work together to ensure your handheld shots are secure and steady. A padded vest with a rotating top bar and a two-axis spring arm with adjustable tension keep your handheld videography smooth with vibration isolation and load distribution.

Flycam Basic Flowline Stabilizing Support Vest with 180° Rotation

Take the strain of your camera's weight off your shoulders and arms and transfer it to your back with the Basic Flowline Stabilizing Support Vest with 180° Rotation from FLYCAM. Ideal for any handheld camerawork, this support vest is compatible with gimbals and camera rigs from 6.6 to 16.5 lb. A suspension line with a maximum length of 60" threads through a top bar measuring 22" and is capable of rotating 180° to execute pivoting and tracking shots with ease.

The suspension line's additional point of contact reduces vibrations to keep your handheld shots steady and smooth. Its tension can be adjusted with the knob positioned on the back of the vest, and the camera's position along the top bar can be adjusted forward or backward for better balance. The apparatus collapses down to 23.6" to fit in an included carrying case for portability.

The position on the top arm can be adjusted forward and back, allowing you to control how far away or close to your body the camera is at rest

BEST PIECE OF KIT EVER! - Happy D.P.

Absolutely changes the game when it comes to running medium-heavy camera rigs. Love it. I can handheld ALL DAY, with my back (I've had T4 Vertebrae Surgery) happy and comfy as ever. My BMCC6K rig is about 22lbs, and this thing handles it well (despite the 16lbs max payload capacity) NOTE: I tried it with the Edge V1, and have used the Vario5 w/ the Stabil Light in the past as well - and after comparing both- I must say, I would opt for the basic stabilizing arm that comes with the Flowline over those add-ons any day... It only reinvents the wheel IMO. I experienced more constant tinkering with tension knobs, and inevitably- even more bounce and unstable footage. Walking with the standard arm is possible, using the ninja walk, and proper tension - I don't have any need for that heavy solid metal Edge V1. This one folds down and weighs nothing- allowing me more freedom, control, and comfort. So for me- this is all I need. Simplicity is key, and lets creativity on set get more bandwidth.

Impressive

what if I will use it with more weight (8kg or 9kg) than it supports? It's possible or what's the risks?
Asked by: Hayk
According the manufacturer the Flycam Basic Flowline Stabilizing Support Vest with 180° Rotation, should only be used with weight loads of up to 7.5 kg, for proper functionality. For more weight support, we recommend the FLYCAM Flowline Master Stabilizing Support Vest for Camera Gimbals: https://bhpho.to/3KYFQo5
