MODE FX PACKAGE
The LOW MODE CAMERA HANDLE CLAMP is used
to invert the camera on the top of the XR-2000, XR-
4000, HD-2000, and HD-4000 so that when inverted,
the camera ends up correctly oriented. When shooting
in the low mode setup you are in essence shooting with
the hand-held stabilizer turned upside down with the
camera low near the ground and the base platform up
by your head.
First attach your LOW MODE HANDLE CLAMP to your camera before you attach the head plate
of your hand-held stabilizer to the LOW MODE HANDLE CLAMP.
Place the camera on level ground or a flat surface before attaching the LOW MODE HANDLE
CLAMP. Now find the cameras center of gravity. Once you have found the center of gravity of the
camera, handle clamp the LOW MODE HANDLE CLAMP so that the center of gravity is centered
on the camera. Use the included adhesive foam strips between the camera handle and the LOW
MODE HANDLE CLAMP. Securely fasten the LOW MODE HANDLE CLAMP to the cameras
handle ensuring a snug fit, but DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN Now fasten the top of the LOW MODE
HANDLE CLAMP to the CAMERA MOUNTING PLATE.
