Using the waist / low mode kit
In order to use in low mode you first have to attach the Balancing cord to the rig.
Take the loops and put them over the left fixed knob (0) and over the Tilt/Crane knob
Use the supplied shoulder strap and connect one end to the middle of the Balancing
cord and the other end to the hole in the shoulder brace.
Adjust the strap length for waist or low position. You can carry it on your right shoulder,
or over your head. You can also hold the belt in your hand for ground level shots.
Move the Camcorder all the way to the right in order to clear the LCD monitor from the
cords.
When picked up from the ground the Rig will always stay Horizontally balanced.
The handlebars could be screwed out for even lower camera positioning
