be ensured in this manner.

used.

Check the contacts for damage beforehand.
Do not subject the MAXIMA QL to humidity and do not immerse it into water.

outer and inner ring. A high kinetic force can result between the outer and inner
ring, depending on the weight and length of the camera. Serious injuries can
result through negligence.If this does happen then, cut off the power supply
straight away and seek medical attention if necessary.
