Add-A-Cam PRO Installation and Pan/Tilt PRO Fine Tuning:
The Installation Guide for the Add-A-Cam PRO System explains the installation of the system components.
Complete the installation of Add-A-Cam PRO system and return to these instructions for the fine-tuning of
the Pan/Tilt Head.
1. To fine tune the Pan/Tilt PRO for smooth movement, start by placing the camcorder/Shoe in the
center of the slot on the bracket and tighten the brass thumbscrew on the EZ Camera Shoe.
2. Plug a Cat. 5 cable into the PAN/TILT RJ-45 port of the EZCamera Shoe and connect the other end
to the PAN/TILT RJ-45 port on the Pan/Tilt Head. Plug in the PowerRite power connection to the
Pan/Tilt Head and then plug the AC cord into an outlet.
3. After the Pan/Tilt Head goes through the standard test movements, it will return home, back to the
alignment markers on the Pan/Tilt head. With the ProductionVIEW switcher or Super Joystick
controller connected, use the joystick to pan and tilt the camera making sure not to move the camera
too far either way in case the Cat. 5 cabling doesn’t have enough slack. Confirm cable slack in the
cable by panning and tilting all the way up/down and left to right, test the tilt function. Tilting the
camera up and down from the maximum tilt up to the maximum tilt down, the camera should not
shutter at all during the motion. If the assembly shutters during movement, then additional
adjustments are required.
4. First try adjusting the horizontal bracket by loosening the thumb screw and moving it all the way
forward or back. Do the full tilt test again (tilt the camera all the way up to down, and down to up in a
few different locations). If shuttering persists during the full tilt test, then carefully loosen all four of
the Allen screws holding the camcorder bracket to the tilt hub. Move the bracket assembly about ¼”
(6 mm) up from the initial position and tighten the screws. Try tilting the camera all the way up or
down again. If shuttering still persists, then try moving the bracket ½” down from the current position
and again check for shuttering. Move the camcorder both forward and backward on the Shoe and
up and down on the tilt hub until the shuttering stops.
COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION
Once the full range of motion of the entire system is confirmed, finish and final dress the cabling. Holes are
located in the camcorder arm assembly for wire ties and a threaded hole is provided for installing a tension
wire clip on the camcorder bracket. After securing all the cables, check the slack in all cabling for the full
range of motion of the camcorder.
