When screwing the FW730 in
the cast iron base, first place
the cast iron base on the floor.
Then, by holding the stand
section (A), carefully rotate the
FlexWand into the threaded
hole (C) in the cast iron base
(at least 2 full turns). Next,
wrap your hand around the XLR
connector section (B), pick up
the combined FlexWand and
base, then spin the base until
it is snug. Do not over tighten.
Be careful that the microphone
head does not bang into some-
thing during this process.
