Studiobot TX90 Quick Start Guide

Moving the Studiobot TX90 arm by hand

In some circumstance you need to move the Studiobot TX90 arm 
manually with your own hands. For example: 

Recovering from a 

software lock-up

. For example if momentum has 

carried the arm outside the soft limits, the software might refuse to 
move the arm to get back inside the limits. 

Recovering from a 

hardware lock-up

. If momentum or a 

programming error moves the arm against its internal hard limits or 
if the camera platform gets stuck against another part of the arm, the 
motors might not be able to back off from this position without 
tripping out. 

Putting the arm into 

transport position

, to make the Studiobot 

TX90 volume as small as possible so it will fit into a truck. You can 
do this with Flair software (although you will probably need to 
change the soft limits) but if you forget to do so before shutting 
down the Flair computer then you can do it by hand. 

Hint

Moving the Studiobot TX90 arm by hand is usually a two-person job 
— one to operate the Brake Release switch and button and one to 
move the arm. 

Transport position:

Arm rotated forward and tucked 
under. 

Camera platform perpendicular 
to base slope, above the wheel 
unit, with about 3cm clearance 
between it and the base.
