Posts and clamps
To balance heavy cameras, and/or to raise the lens
height, make the rig longer. The telescoping post is
adjusted by releasing the black wing clamp at the
base of the post. Be sure to support the sled before
you release the clamp.
Posts & Clamps
Note: There is a safety line inside the posts to keep them
from separating. The safety cable will prevent you from
extending the post too far. Do not twist the bottom section
more than 180 degrees from the top section as this will
also twist the internal cables.
Rotating Battery Mount
The battery mount pivots approximately 270º to facilitate static balance, dynamic balance, storage,
and for inertial control. Pivoting the battery all the way down will enable it to get closer to the sled,
reducing pan inertia and/or helping to balance very heavy cameras. Pan inertia is maximized with
the batteries horizontal and the battery rods fully extended.
