Handling the Free Spirit Camera Stabilizer
The Free Spirit Camera Stabilizer is designed to work properly only
when using two hands to control it—one hand to hold the unit and the
other to guide it. Without a guiding hand, the camera can drift away
from its originally balanced position and you won’t be able to control
the direction it is shooting. With a second hand, you can gently guide
the camera in the direction you wish to shoot and aim the camera
properly for tilting and panning shots.
When holding the Free Spirit you should hold the handle firmly in
the center of the rubberized handle grip (27). The handle and gimbal
unit can slide up and down on the center column, depending on
where you want to hold it. If you will be aiming the camera up, down
or sideways, you may want to lower the position of the assembly
to avoid hitting your hand or knuckles on the camera or attached
accessories. To adjust the position, just twist the black rubber
adjustment ring to loosen it, slide the handle assembly up or down
