Before we mount the Handle and LCD mount
to the unit, note the
function of the black collar which has a ratchet attached to it.
The ratchet (pointed to by the red arrow to the above) serves to lock
the tubes so they can't rotate, or to release the tubes so they can spin
360 degrees.
You can turn
the ratchet in a complete circle to tighten, but the ratchet
itself is adjustable (pull out, reposition, release, continue the motion).
It's best to tighten the ratchet when putting the tower away so it won't
rotate awkwardly. During filming you'll want to open this ratchet so
you can spin the tower
as needed for operation
.
