3.Placing a camera
Loosen the camera rotation clamps slightly and turn
the camera mount to install the camera.
The flexibility of layout adjustment increases when a
ball-head, etc., is used. Fig. 4
If a lens with a tripod mount ring is used, remember to
use the tripod mount ring of the lens unless there is a
reason to do otherwise. As the tripod mount ring
rotates, you can flexibly adjust the layout and optimize
the front/rear balance. Fig.5
If a single camera is used with the Skymemo Balance
Weight (sold separately) installed, remove one camera
rotation clamp and take out the camera mount. Screw
the Skymemo Weight Shaft (sold separately) into the
screw hole, which is now accessible. Fig.6
CAUTION : Due to balance weight is so heavy,
please pay attention to handle it not to injury
yourself and damage equipments.
4.Balancing the camera tracker arm
Loosen the RA attachment clamp and balance the
polar axis shaft. If two cameras are used, adjust the
balance by using the different lengths of the arms. If
one camera is used, the balance should be adjusted
using the Skymemo Balance Weight (sold separately).
When balancing the polar axis shaft, be sure the east
side of the shaft is slightly heavier. This will prevent
negative impact from a backlash of the gears. Fig.7
