How is this accomplished?
Thanks, Nick:
I took some of the weights off the bottom and was able to slow the drop rate a bit. Is this better accomplished by moving the gimbal? If I take any more weights off the sled, the...

I will remeasure it since I added a monitor and support arm. Previous to that it was about 1.5 seconds.

Thanks all
I guess I just adjust these until the camera floats more than being stiff, right? The cost of the Flycam 6000 with arm and vest was around $1100.

I fixed it!
Hi all and thanks for the feedback. I changed the freq to 60 hz and did some other tweaks and it did fine. This was a big help to get me in the right direction. Thanks again.
