The PRO™ Gimbal’s design and construction guarantee a precise intersection of all three axes,
while the correct application of bearings provides a smooth, deflection-free pan, roll and tilt. A
locking mechanism achieves concentric clamping about the post, ensuring that all axes converge
at post center. The PRO™ Gimbal is compatible with all 1.5 inch center posts.
For various shot requirements, the gimbal can be moved easily up and down the post by
loosening the clamp screw, sliding to desired position and re-tightening. Once in place fine
adjustments may be made by turning the vernier ring located just below the grip. Approximate
range of fine adjustments is
½
an inch in both directions.

-DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN ANYTHING ON THE GIMBAL
I)
When tilting the camera, the PRO™ Gimbal is designed to distribute the load of the
camera evenly between its two (2) radial side bearings. If you notice that one side of
the Gimbal yoke is tilting unevenly, the Gimbal yoke may be bent and need replacing.
It is unusual for this problem to occur unless the rig has been dropped or hit.
II)
If the Gimbal appears to stick when panning, the pan bearing is most likely dirty
(especially if the operator has been working in very dusty conditions).
To clean, take the following steps:
1. Use the gimbal wrench to remove the outer retaining ring, (while the gimbal is clamped
on the post). Slide outer housing up the post.
2. Clean out the bearing with a non-residue electrical contact cleaner.
3. Re-lubricate with one drop of very light camera oil (ie: Arri Camera Oil)

4. Spin bearing to distribute oil. Re-assemble.
