Before we mount the Handle and LCD Bracket to the unit, note the
function of the black collar beneath the white line which has a ratchet
attached to it.
The ratchet
(pointed to by the
red arrow to the
right) serves to lock
the tubes so they
can't rotate, or to
release the tubes so
they can spin 360
degrees.
You can turn the
ratchet in a
complete circle to
tighten, but the
ratchet itself is
adjustable (pull out,
reposition, release,
continue the
motion).
It's best to tighten the ratchet when putting the tower away so it won't
rotate on you awkwardly. During filming you'll want to open this
ratchet so you can spin the tower as needed for operation.
