3.5 SECURING CONNECTING SUBSYSTEMS:
Connecting subsystems may be secured to one of the tripod’s eye bolts or
onto a mounting bracket. See Figure 9 for reference. To secure a connecting subsystem:
;
This product may have a total of four connecting subsystems secured at any given time. This includes two primary
subsystems and two secondary subsystems.
;
See “Planning” for more information on connecting subsystem compatibility.
A. EYE BOLTS:
Secure the connecting subsystem to the eye bolt using the connector atop the connecting subsystem.
Alternatively, a clevis pin may be used.
B. MOUNTING BRACKETS:
Place the connecting subsystem’s bracket onto the mounting bracket, aligning the holes
in the two brackets. Secure the brackets by threading the locking pin on the subsystem bracket through the aligned
bracket holes. Thread the lifeline of the connecting subsystem through one of the tripod pulleys.
;
It is recommended that you thread your primary subsystem’s lifeline through the head mount pulleys.
;
Never secure two connecting subsystems to the same tripod leg.
