• Important tripod setup instrucMons:

• Set the Auto Pan Angle Selector Switch to 0° and the Main Power Switch to “M.” These

sehngs are required for 360° rotaMon and control from within the CamRanger app. The

45°, 90°, and 340° auto pan sehngs on the tripod head serve no funcMon.

• Level the tripod if necessary for your applicaMon.

• When securing the CamRanger and CamRanger PT Hub to the camera setup, do not

mount to the tripod. Mount the CamRanger and CamRanger PT Hub to the motorized

tripod or camera strap and make sure the units can rotate freely around the tripod.
