The maximum load capacity of the ceiling stand of 6 kg must not be

Please ensure that the ceiling to which you attach the support is of
sufficient
structural stability and offers the appropriate load-bearing
capacity. Only use the enclosed heavy-duty anchors or comparable
ones. Only solid ceilings, beams or trusses made of load-bearing mate-
rial such as concrete, metal, natural stone or solid wood are suitable for
fastening. Suspended ceilings and similar are unsuitable. Ideally, consult
a specialist before installation. Advice should also be sought in the case
of listed buildings or buildings worthy of preservation as well as art.

Ensure that the base plate is mounted strictly level.
Installing the support
Attach the base plate to the ceiling with suitable
and load-bearing heavy-duty anchors. Use 4 anchors
with one of the two diameters indicated. For the
diameters of the openings in the base plate, see
the picture. The ceiling stand is delivered comple-
tely assembled and is ready for use immediately
after successful installation on the ceiling. Before
mounting, make sure to leave enough space for
mounted devices.
Adjustment of extension
The boom is extendable. Hold mounted equip-
ment securely when opening and adjusting
the extension so that it does not suddenly sink
down.
To adjust the extension, open the lock for the
extension (4) and pull it out as far as you need.
Rotate the extension into the position you
need. Then tighten the lock (4) again.
Mounting equipment on the boom

adapter (2) which can hold a standard 5/8 inch
(16 mm) spigot in two orientations. With the
help of this adapter, equipment such as studio
flashes, lights, softboxes, microphones, etc.
