DV Media Rig
Professional Camera Support
Although the DV Media Rig is fairly
intuitive to operate, PLEASE read the
following instructions to make sure you
get the most out of your purchase.
Kit includes: (1) Adjustable Shoulder
Arch (2) Handle Section (3) Belt (4)
Spring Pod (5) Quick-release Plate (6)
Tilt Lever (7) Accessory Mount (8)
Swiveling counterweight (may differ from picture)
WARNING: NEVER POINT THE TIP OF THE SPRING POD AT YOUR FACE. ONLY LOOSEN
THE CLAMPS WHEN THE SPRING POD IS ATTACHED TO THE LOADED DV MEDIA RIG. THE
SPRING POD CAN POP OUT QUICKLY AND CAUSE INJURY IF THESE RULES ARE NOT
FOLLOWED.
1) Start by assembling the main shoulder
support unit. Connect the shoulder arch
section to the handle section by sliding the
smaller end of the handle assembly through
the stainless steel cylinder at the end of the
shoulder arch assembly. Secure the two
sections together by inserting the tilt lever (6)
through the stainless steel cylinder and
threading it into the handle section. The tilt
lever will allow you to adjust the tension on
the tilt action of the handles. The same type of lever is used at the shoulder pivot (9). Note
that the position of these levers can be adjusted without loosening – simply grab the lever and
press on the red button, then you can readjust the angle of the lever without threading or
unthreading. This allows you to apply a ‘ratcheting action’ while tightening or to simply move
the lever out of the way without loosening it.
2) The swiveling counterweight can be adjusted to the left or right to
compensate for balance issues created by the camera and other
mounted accessories. For now, tighten the pivot knob thoroughly so it
doesn’t move while you are mounting the camera and accessories and
making adjustments to the Media Rig.
3) Attach the quick-release plate to your camera using the appropriate
screw. Remove the unused screw and store in a secure location.
Once the quick-release plate is firmly attached to your camera, set it
aside.
