Advice regarding the payload:
The payload of the remote head mount is the accumulated weight of all devices (such as remote head,
camera, lens, …) mounted at the remote head mount.
The PANTHER PIXY Crane system may only be assembled according to the assembling versions shown in
this operating manual. Other kinds of assembly are not permitted! (see Quick Information)
When turning and rotating the crane outrigger and during curve drives, centrifugal forces can appear
which can endanger the standing stability when added.
For safety reasons it is obligatory that the crane stands/drives on absolutely hard, stable and inflexible
ground, which is completely leveled. Please pay attention that no hard or loose objects can get under the
wheels, so that the standing and driving stability of the crane could be endangered. Example: Cable in
the studio. This also applies when working with tracks.
Please check the function, damages and missing parts of the crane every day. Damaged or missing com‑
ponents have to be replaced by new ones immediately.
Mark the operating range (pan and tilt area) of the crane with flags, stickers or similar material. Keep all
persons out of the operating area in order to avoid anybody to be
hurt by the base dolly or the outrigger.
CAUTION !
Mounting and dismounting the camera with or without remote system is only allowed
with the crane operator’s approval. A one‑sided removal of weights of a balanced
crane will cause a sudden rise of the outrigger and may lead to damages of the crane
and possibly severe injuries.
Take care that the outrigger does not touch anything within the rotating area. Check the surrounding of
the crane for possible dangers.
Stop working with the crane immediately, even if only a small part is damaged or not mounted the cor‑
rect way.
