Mount Handles
The Silk utilizes standard 15mm small rig components, clamps and
handles for adapting the Silk for handheld use. Multiple
configurations can be achieved for various shooting styles. The
versatility and popularity the 15mm rod system gives you a wide
range of additional accessories to run with your gimbal (i.e. cold
shoes, monitor mounts) and also allows you to run any 15mm rod
components that you may already have.
Mounting the handles begins with assembling the (2) 10” 15mm
rods with the male to male threaded rod adapter:
Mount the (2) 15mm rod clamps to the top plate of the Silk. There
are several sets of through holes to choose from, it is most common
to mount the rail clamps to the holes aligned at the center of the
motor.
With the 2 clamps aligned and loose carefully slide the rod through
the clamps and center the rod so it is even. You can now tighten
the inner clamps and install the handles. If you have any accessory
clamps you can of course put those on prior to the handles.
