Flowcine Black Arm Complete Dampening System, Tranquilizer Mount and Pro Case

The Black arm is a 3-axis dampening system with a additional vibration mount for stabilizing roll and tilt errors as well as vertical motion and vibrations. The Black arm is a hardmount system, made for gimbals, that you want to mount on vehicles such as cars, ATVs, boats, snowmobiles etc. Complete The Black Arm Complete is for users working with higher loads and carries between 5-32kg (11-70 lbs). The Black Complete ships with four 7.0mm springs and four 7.5mm springs, that takes the entire range of 5-32kg. You can use the springs in single (one spring on each side) or dual (two springs on each side) configuration, to precisely achieve the lift needed. The damping action of all axes, vertical, tilt and roll is created by custom made actuator hydraulic dampers that are fully adjustable. You adjust the damping with a knob that has 22 steps, to precisely dial in the exact amount of damping you need for your shot. The Black Complete ships with a total of six dampers, allowing for dual dampers on each axis if needed or as spares. Tranquilizer Mount The Tranquilizer has many adjustments to fine tune it's performance and may give better results if you have the time and skills to configure it properly. The Flowcine Tranquilizer is the next-generation of vibration isolators, specifically designed around the geometry of a electronic gimbal device. The Flowcine Tranquilizer has been carefully built from ground up to meet the following criterias:• Small in size• Stabilize lighter gimbals with small amounts of mass• Reduce vibrations from lowest possible frequency range and maximize motor torque without getting into self oscillation, which is a common problem with wire rope isolators How Does It Work? The Flowcine Tranquilizer use custom polymers instead of wire rope. We have a system that lets you to go from different types of hardness and amount of polymers, that allows for perfect tweaking of your setup weight, allowing the Tranquilizer to work optimally. The package ships with two sets of polymers, shore 30 and shore 40 and you can easily add more sets if you have a wide span of different gimbals you want to change between, however since the system easily lets you add and subtract the amount, you already have a great range of freedom in weight span with the default package. The Tranquilizer also includes the Flowcine Passive plates. These adds more mass to the system and lets you dial in the perfect weight and also makes a huge difference compensating incoming hard shocks. These are very easy to add and remove on the fly, while your gimbal is already attached to the system. We include eight of the passive plates in the package, enabling you to add just over 5kg/11 lbs to the Tranquilizer.To reduce the problem with when the pan motor goes into self oscillation, we have a design that allows the system to reduce a great deal of incoming vibrations, while at the same time keep the gimbal in check from jittering around the pan axis. This allows you to tune your gimbal/gyrohead with the highest possible pan motor torque settings and the result will be a head that handles high speeds, wind and other dynamics when shooting from vehicles better. Flight Case The Black arm ships in the Pro case. It's made in all-black, to perfectly match the Black arm. It features powder coated black metal corners, heavy duty recessed handles and butterfly catches. It also has wheels, so you can roll the case just like a cabin bag. To match the clean exterior, the foam in the Pro case is all black. Mounting Options Mounting the Black arm is as simple as clamping it on to a standard 48-52mm speed rail. You build a rig onto your vehicle, using standard grip components like speed rail and dual clamps, possibly using Flowcines Universal rack or Stub mount. Then you simply clamp the Black on there, with the two single clamps at the back of the arm. There are several ways to attach your gimbal to the Black arm. The included base plate has hole patterns to match the Freefly Toad in a hole and Cinemilled Universal Ronin mount for easy attachment of the MoVI and Ronin gimbals. We also make a Mitchell female mount for gimbals that uses the Mitchell connector. On each side of the Blacks head, there are cheese plates suitable to mount batteries or Kenyon gyros on.
