Opening the Case
Never open the latches with the camera on the outside
of the case. Move the camera all the way inside the case
by pushing it back through the cable guide BEFORE you
undo the latches.
Figure 8 – ENSURE CAMERA IS INSIDE THE DRUM COM-
PLETELY BEFORE YOU UNDO LATCHES AND
OPEN THE CASE. This will reduce the risk of
the cable springing out and becoming kinked.
Figure 9 – Do Not Open Case with Camera Outside
If the camera is still led out through the pushrod guide
when the case is opened, the cable may be drawn up
above the lip of the drum. It may spring free and uncoil
from the drum. If this happens, it may kink.
Feed the pushrod back in carefully. Do not twist or
bend the pushrod sharply when coiling it back into the
drum. Compressing or forcing an improperly coiled
cable may cause it to break.
