AXB-PT10/15/30 PosiTrack Camera Controllers
To mount and balance the camera/lens:
1.
Separate the camera mount and the cradle support bracket by removing the two 1/2" screws on
the underside of the assembly (see FIG. 15) using a 3/32" Allen wrench.
2.
Install the camera alignment peg to the mount at the position that best fits the camera/lens.
3.
Secure the camera/lens to the mount (at the camera alignment peg) with the 1/2" screw and
1/10" thick washer supplied (see FIG. 15).
4.
Place the assembly on a balancing beam and while maintaining the cradle centered on the pipe,
slide the camera along the cradle’s groves until the camera and cradle remain balanced on the
beam (see FIG. 16). Verify balance with a spirit level.
5.
Mount the camera as close to the Tilt Hub as possible to obtain a true center of gravity. The
center of gravity is the location on the long axis of the camera/lens assembly around which the
camera and mount balances.
