BALANCE
3. Side-to-Side: Your phone is the weight that will
balance your eVo side-to-side.
If the eVo is tilting to the left, slide your phone to the
right until the eVo stage levels horizontally. If the eVo
is tilting to the right, slide your phone to the left until
the eVo stage levels horizontally.
All Steadicam stabilizers work through a mass-based balancing setup. The eVo
is unique in that it’s the next evolution of Steadicam, where an electronic
motor assists the operator by maintaining the balance they achieved during set
up. Like all Steadicam stabilizers, the eVo has a 3-axis gimbal, so we will
balance the eVo along 3 axes: top-to-bottom, front-to-back, and side-to-side.
1. Top-to-Bottom: Your phone is the top weight and
must be counterbalanced at the bottom using the
adjustment wheel or adding balance weights at
the base of the eVo.
The bottom weight should begin at position 1.
Hold the eVo by the handle and observe how it
behaves: if the eVo is seeking a horizontal
orientation, install one of the included balance
weights on the bottom. If the eVo is still seeking a
horizontal orientation, install another one of the
included balance weights.
2. Front-to-Back: The adjustment knob on the stage
controls your front-to-back balance by moving the
position of your phone along the stage.
If the eVo is tilting forward, turn the adjustment
knob clockwise to tilt it backward. If the eVo is tilting
backward, turn the adjustment knob
counterclockwise to tilt it forward.
