ccp stabilizer

[katch26]

ordered one up and it got here today.....Im excited to put it on and see how it compares to the gpr on my predator. One thing is for sure, it is one SERIOUS peice of aluminum

[katch26]

just out of curiousity how tight do you attach it to the stem? and is the set screw also a grease fitting?

I am gussessing that you would what it pretty tight..

[katch26]

thats what I was thinking but I wouldnt want any binding. I havent tried yet (so its sort of a sight-unseen question )but hopefully its slightly larger than the stem itself cause theres no bushing or anything.

They are a nice stabilizer, I love mine. Probably won't be as nice as the GPR as it doesn't have the fancy adjustments, but at the end of the day it gets the job done quite well.

It mounts to the stem and frame using allen cap screws. Just use an allen key to tighten the bolts up....you want it tight but don't go all gorilla on it as it is threading into aluminum. And no, there aren't any grease fittings, it uses sealed bushings at all the pivot points.

So, there arn't any adjustments on the stabilizer? Only one? Huh.

The clamp at the stem is slightly smaller actually, so it can have a tight fit. It is split into 2 pieces so that when you tighten the cap screws, it "clamps" together against the stem.

Yep, 8 "settings" but also note that there are no "clicks" at each number. It is completely variable so there's like infinite adjustments between numbers.

yeah I did notice that....just out of curiousity what do you run yours at?, what kind of camera is that the pictures are amazing

[NacsMXer]

I usually run it around 5-6. I run about a 7 if the track is really rough/rutted out. Full hard is an absolute beast to turn the bars back and forth, but comes in handy for those no hander landers :devil:

oh and i'm using a Nikon D60 ;)
