he low-profile post clamps are easy to use and offer a positive lock. You should occasionally test to
ensure the gimbal and post are being clamped fully by trying to move the components with the clamps
closed. If the components slide with a camera on board, it will affect your drop time.
IMPORTANT: Do not over-tighten post clamps! They are strong enough to distort the carbon fiber post
sections, but do not need to be that tight to hold. Use minimum clamping force while still holding securely.
The over-center lock on the post
clamp is adjusted while the post
clamp is closed.
Use a 3/32” Allen wrench to turn
each screw an equal, tiny amount.
You don’t want to over-tighten
these, take your time.
Test the action of the clamp lever,
and the holding power of the
clamp. Repeat if necessary.
