Installation
If the camera cradle tilts backwards (points upward), then the camera
must be moved towards the front of the head (fore).
3.
Reposition the camera as required on the camera cradle and
secure in position. The horizontal balance is correct when the
camera cradle comes to rest in a horizontal position.
4.
Tighten the bolts securing the camera to the cradle and recheck
the horizontal balance. Readjust if necessary.
Adjusting the Centre of Gravity (C of G)
!
CAUTION!
Risk of damage to equipment. Be prepared to
prevent the camera and cradle from falling away suddenly.
1. Tilt the camera approx. 30°
upward and release it.
If the camera stays in the same
position when released, the
payload is correctly balanced with
the C of G on the tilt axis.
If the camera
continues to move
upwards after
releasing the
camera cradle, the
payload is mounted
too high—lower the
camera cradle.
