Base Thrust Mounting Knobs
The four base thrust mounting knobs are used to securely attach the base of the Paramount to the top of
the pier, tripod or other mounting surface.
Always immediately secure the Paramount to a pier or tripod before attaching the
counterweight shaft, adding counterweights, or optical equipment! Forgetting to do so is
relatively easy, and can have disastrous results.
