Pressurizing the pedestal
The Osprey Elite may be pressurized from an external pressure source or by using the Vinten
portable pump (Part No. 3357-3). Trim weights
are provided for fine balance.
Ascertain the payload to be fitted to the pedestal (payload = pan and tilt head, camera, lens and
all ancillary equipment). Referring to the graph, mark the payload on the horizontal axis then strike
a vertical line from the load figure to the balance line. At the intersecting point strike a horizontal
line to the vertical axis and read off the required gas pressure.
