FLYCAM Galaxy Arm and Vest Camera Stabilizer

Seems to be a solid piece of kit. Buckles on the vest are made of plastic, but there as sturdy as heavy duty hiking bergens I've used. All the stress points and attachment arms are made of solid metal. Quick to put the vest on and setup.3 sets of springs are supplied for various setup weights, the middle weight (blue) are installed from factory. There is also red springs for a cinema camera setup, and yellow for a mirrorless setup (1-4kg). Although I'd advise, this is a serious bit of kit designed for a heavy setup. If your trying to put a small photo camera on a flycam or gimbal you've got the wrong end of the stick. You can further adjust the tension of the installed springs with dials on both arms.Does it's job admirably. Main benefit of a Steadicam style vest is to take the weight off. The dual sprung arm also removes a lot of the y-axis jump out when running. The dual arm undulates according to your steps to smooth rough movement.I have a cheap Yelangu/Neewer S60T attached to a Moza Air 2, creating a knock off Arri Trinity. The handle tube of the S60T is a little large, but gaffer around the end of the arm connector sorted this out. Works brilliantly for style of shooting I do, where I have to imitate both a tripod and a high speed dolly track.Cons to consider:1. The arm has a carry case but not the vest? Personally don't care as I'm happy to chuck the vest in the boot of my car.2. The tension springs are almost impossible to swap over. Do it once for a specific setup in it's given weight range and leave it. You can forget swapping them mid-shoot.3. You look like your headed to war/compensating for something wearing this thing.In summary, solid piece of kit deserving of it's cost, but know what your getting in to. I've noticed some negative reviews from individuals who seem to lack the understanding of the kits intent. You'll still have to practise with it, and it's completely over the top for most people who just want to run around with a light weight gimbal setup.

Good vest, easy to adjust for different sized operators. Changing to the supplied heavier duty springs was a bit awkward but the second was easier than the first, so I guess it's all about having the knack. The only thing I would have added is some kind of loop to hook the arm out of the way when not in use but it was a simple adaptation to make with a length of hook and loop tape.

Take your time to get it fitted right (you'll need help doing this), and you'll be thankful. Great bit of kit.

Fantastic bit of kit , bought it as a gun mount for airsoft ;)
