Thank you for choosing Revo and congratulations on your purchase of the Revo ST-1000 Pro Video
Stabilizer. The Revo Pro Video Stabilizer is a compact, lightweight camera stabilization rig that uses
counterbalance weights and a gimbal to help you keep your camera steady when shooting video—
eliminating distracting camera movement for smoother, more professional-looking movies.
The ST-1000 can support a DSLR or camcorder weighing up to 4.85 pounds. A comfortable
padded hand grip supports the camera mount. The universal camera mount is adjustable and has a
quick-release mount. A super-smooth gimbal and adjustable counterweight help keep the camera
balanced and stable. You can use the built-in bubble level to check the camera’s balance at any time.

weight at the end of the micro-adjustable counterbalance. Setting up this mechanism for the best results requires time and patience. Once it has been setup properly, the settings can be recorded and used quickly without further set-up required. Always be sure to keep one hand on your camera when making
adjustments, to prevent the camera from falling. Keep in mind that any professional technology requires practice and patience to master, with your results
directly related to the time you devote to it.
Pre-Adjusting the Counterbalance Hinge

Attach the largest counter balance weight

to the end of the counter balance extension.
(After mounting the camera, smaller
counterbalance weights may be added, if
necessary.). It doesn’t need to be overly
tightened — just tight enough so that there’s
no play in the screw.
Note: There are five weights included with this
stabilizer—one large weight and four small weights.
You can use any one of these weights (including
just a single small weight), or any combination
of weights (including all of the weights) on the
counterbalance extension to achieve the correct
counterbalance for your camera.
For the starting position, measure the counter

weight on the hinge to the end of the camera
mounting base.
