PT10-ADD Additional Camera Pan/Tilt System
4. Place the assembly on a balancing beam and while maintaining the cradle centered on the pipe,
slide the camera along the cradle’s grooves until the camera and cradle remain balanced on the
beam (see FIG. 7). Verify balance with a spirit level. The center of gravity is the location on the
long axis of the camera/lens assembly around which the camera balances.
5. Mount the camera as close to the Tilt Hub as possible to obtain a true center of gravity.
6. Re-attach the camera mount (with camera/lens) to the cradle support bracket using the two 1/2"
screws.
7. Take the entire camera/mount and cradle assembly and align the lens with the Tilt Hub so that
the vertical-axis intersects the center of the camera's iris, as shown in FIG. 8.
8.
Mark the position of the cradle support bracket on the Tilt Hub (for later attachment).
