Getting familiar with adjustments on Your Stealthy
1. Caution: Always use fingers and thumbs to adjust. Never should you need to
tighten with a hand grip. Finger strength only is required. Never turn the handle
of stealthy when the bottom of handle is engaged with another part of Stealthy
body. The handle is meant to turn freely but only when A. it is unattached at the bot-
tom B. when the gimbal unlocked. C. When the Stealthy is in Stabilizer mode.
2. Handle Lock Knob: Notice at the bottom of black knurled handle there is two
narrow knurled round knobs. Only the one closest to bottom of handle is meant to
be turned by operator with thumb and index finger and should never be over tight-

has a small set screw to keep it locked. Do not adjust.

4. Monopod lock screw. This screw must be tightened after unfolding the Stealthy
device for monopod and or stabilizer mode. The monopod lock screw is found under
the handle and in front of the monopod tube of the Stealthy. (Note this screw must be
kept locked in when in monopod or Stabilizer mode. If not device could fold while using
and cause injury or disrupt shot)
5. Unlocking the gimbal lock: This adjustment screw adjustment is a very important
part that locks and unlocks the gimbal. You should keep the gimbal locked at all times
except when using the stabilizer mode of Stealthy. The handle may have a little move-
ment in all modes and that is normal. If ever handle feels too loose then check the
gimbal lock screw and make sure that it is aligned with lock sticker below and that the
