Once you verify how to track with your Jigabot EX, and rather than mounting
an iPad or small camera, you can mount a larger one as follows:
First power OFF your Jigabot and DOTdriver, then do this setup:
1. Attach a Top Mount accessory to the Jigabot EX
2. Attach the Camera to the Top Mount accessory, and move forward or
back to balance the load on the pan- or swivel-axis
3. Make sure that your tripod is properly leveled
Again power ON, then stand 6 feet in front of the Jigabot EX and move the
DOTs slowly from side to side. Congratulations, you’re tracking with a larger
camera!
Attach Top Mount
accessory to the
Jigabot EX
(screw in two 1/4-20”
screws firmly)
Attach the camera to the Top Mount
(Use the included Cinevate screw (3/8-16’ or 1/4”-20 size) to secure the
mount into the base of the camera tightly. You can also mount a quick-re-
lease plate to the Top Mount, and you r camera to the quick-release.)
Level tripod
With a larger cam-
era, you should
be very mindful
to properly level
your tripod so that
the Jigabot pans
in a precisely level
manner.
Balancing is essential:
before final tightening of the camera to the Top
Mount, imagine a red line: move the camera forward and back until the
load is balanced directly over the pan (rotation) axis.
Larger camera: a
larger camera is
defined as one that
is over 3 pounds, or
longer than 5 inches.
The Top Mount
accessory allows the
camera to be slided
forward or back in
order to center the
load. Do not exceed
7 to 10 pound cam-
eras.
