FLYCAM Comfort Arm & Vest for Handheld Camera Stabilizers,5kg/11lb Body Rig

Good, lightweight and does the job perfectly. OK, this arrives in a much smaller box than I expected, I open it up and find the main padding for the body, a smaller pad for the waist (with velcro belt) and the breast plate, all good, I assemble the various parts (which was easy) but now we get to the difficult part - setting this thing up on your own! It took me half an hour of putting it on, taking it off, adjusting, putting it on again etc etc, for the most part the vest stuck out at the back like I was wearing a rucksack under it but after some more adjustment this was fixed. I am quite slim so the waist belt and the chest belt has quite a bit of belt left over at the back, I will have to fix a bit more velcro around there to keep it flat, not a big issue but I think the design of the waist belt at least could have been better when it comes to adjustment. Once fitted you look as though you have just joined a SWAT team which is really cool and it does look the business, on a hot day you will sweat a bit, even with the semi-breathable lining it is still foam padded at the end of the day so expect to get a bit warm but then these vests be they Flycam or another brand are all of the same type so all of them will make you a bit hot under the collar. If you can, get a friend or family member to help you adjust this, it will bring the time down to around 5 minutes, as I have no mates and my sister is 7 miles away that wasn't an option for me lol. Once fitted it is really comfortable even on a hot day like today and I can see myself enjoying using this, to remove just unclip the chest strap and the waist clip and pull it off over your head, if you undo the shoulder clip you will spend ages trying to reach it to refasten it when you use it next. All in all a very nice piece of equipment that I am keen to use (this weekend as it happens), great value and well made, very happy.

This comfort vest is great for flycam/glidecam users who are just entering the world of steadicam usage. The vest itself is super lightweight and does not take up a lot of room. Is very easy to assemble and I managed to fit it to my body without help in under 10 minutes.

i recieved the box and the vest came in two haves .put it together and took some time to adjust ,the spring change was fiddly but got it. the arm fitted and also stabilizing arm being new still stiff the vest but worth the money for smother shots

Great product, took a little bit of reading and re-reading, to get it all set-up. Instructions were supplied in B&W, colour would have made it easier to see where things connect. Items in the instructions didn't match the items supplied, however the instructions focus on the items supplied and not on items shown, which was a little confusing, no small parts supplied in a bag as shown in the instructions, but there were two washers not sure what they are for as not shown in the instructions.

Purchased to hold a heavy gimbal set up for a petite woman. Fits like a glove with adjustable straps and adjustable arm support. Comfortable padding provides great support for extended periods of use. The arm is limited but still provides adequate 4th axis stability. Generally highly impressed with this vest, it’s the best we’ve purchased so far for comfort and speed of fitting.

Purchased to work with Neewer-Carbon fibre stabiliser, the head mount is not interchangeable and only appears to be compatible with Flycam equipment. The velcro straps are very long for the waist and means if your slim will run out of connecting material. Contacted support for assistance but they never responded. Had to revert to Amazon customer service. (Who were as ever fantastic).

La calidad del producto es buena. Para el uso que le he dado he tenido que realizar alguna adaptación (mi estabilizador era de otra marca), aún así la adaptación ha sido bastante sencilla y el resultado final aceptable.

Fit exact what was prommissed!

I can't say enough about the Flycam Comfort Stabilizing Arm & Vest; it's truly a game-changer for anyone serious about capturing smooth and professional video footage. This system has completely transformed my shooting experience, and here's why I'm so thrilled with it: Comfort and Support: The body-mounted vest and arm combination is nothing short of a revelation. It takes the weight off my arms and shoulders, distributing it across my body, which not only reduces operator fatigue but also allows me to shoot for extended periods without alot of discomfort. The foam-padded comfort vest is incredibly breathable and fits with a bit of adjustment, pretty good. I would like to say you could adjust it for all body sizes. This level of comfort is a 7/8 0ut of 10, but it will make a world of difference in your videography game. This will take a little while tio get used to... Smooth and Stable Movements: The adjustable shock-absorbing arm is a key player in delivering buttery-smooth camera movements. It not only absorbs shocks but also provides the stability needed for professional-quality shots. Whether I'm panning or executing other camera movements, this arm ensures my shots remain steady and shake-free. Customizable Spring Tension: The spring elasticity adjustable knob is a fantastic feature. It allows me to fine-tune the amount of tension based on my setup weight, ensuring optimal performance. This level of customization is essential for capturing the exact shots I envision. Easy to Use and Adjust: Setting up and adjusting the system is a bit confusing the instructions aren't as clear as you would like but you can decipher the information. The proprietary arm-to-vest connector allows me to tweak the angle for a much better fit, and the Velcro straps ensure things stay put. Plus, the push-fit buckles make it easy to remove the vest during short breaks, saving valuable shooting time. Wide Range of Motion: I love the wide vertical range of motion this system provides, including the "Low Mode." It gives me the flexibility to capture shots from various angles, adding depth and creativity to my work. The Flycam Comfort Stabilizing Arm & Vest has revolutionized the way I shoot video. It not only enhances my profession image but also elevates the quality of my footage by providing the stability and support needed for professional results. After I practice drill and rehearse with this for some time, this system will quickly become an indispensable part of my videography kit, and I can't recommend it highly enough to fellow filmmakers and content creators. It can be a game-changer, with consistent perfect practice, plain and simple - plus it gives you a pro look. 4 Stars for Value for Money: The 4-star rating for value for money reflects the recognition that the Flycam Comfort Stabilizing Arm & Vest offers a fair balance between cost and the benefits it provides. While it's seen as a valuable investment for serious videographers, the price point might be considered relatively high for some users, especially those who are just starting or have budget constraints. However, the system's build quality, comfort, and stability justify its cost, making it a good value for those who prioritize these features. It offers a professional-level solution at a competitive price, which earns it a solid 4 stars. 3 Stars for Comfort: The 3-star rating for comfort suggests that while the Flycam Comfort Stabilizing Arm & Vest provides a notable improvement in comfort compared to handheld setups, it may not meet the highest expectations of all users. Comfort is a subjective aspect, and individual preferences vary. Some users may find the system extremely comfortable, while others might have slightly different body types or requirements that lead to a less-than-perfect fit. The foam-padded vest and ergonomic design are commendable but might not cater to every user's specific comfort needs, hence the 3-star rating. 4 Stars for Stability: The 4-star rating for stability underscores the system's ability to provide a substantial improvement in stabilizing camera movements. The Flycam Comfort Stabilizing Arm & Vest successfully reduces operator fatigue and enhances stability during shoots. However, the 4-star rating suggests that while it offers a significant upgrade in stability, it may not achieve absolute perfection in this regard. Some users might encounter minor challenges related to balance or adjustments, which could affect the overall stability. Nonetheless, the system's stability is commendable and substantially enhances the quality of shots, earning it a solid 4 stars. In summary, the Flycam Comfort Stabilizing Arm & Vest earns these ratings based on its overall performance in value for money, comfort, and stability. While it provides excellent value and stability, individual experiences with comfort may vary slightly, leading to a 3-star rating in that aspect. My ratings reflect a balanced assessment of the system's strengths and areas where it may have room for slight improvement. “Practice doesn't make perfect. Practice reduces the imperfection.” ~ KJ

Rien a redire , produit plutôt facile a assembler , attention ce n'est pas magique , filmé de manière stabilisé avec ce genre d'équipements demande un peu de pratique , rien à dire sur le produits ,gilet plutôt confortable .

Need to add different pin sizes for mounting gimble. The pin that comes with it is 3/4"+ and the hole for my gimble is 2mm smaller which means some gimbles wont work with it. I simple solution would be to add multiple pin sizes for the end of the arm where the gimble mounts. Overall excellent quality though.
