User’s Manual

Stand at the far end of the line and

try panning from one end of the

Panning

line to the other while

maintaining your horizon.

Now, walk the line and pan along

the

Panning

line, keeping it parallel

and center of frame.
Try a wide lens and a telephoto lens

to see the difference it makes.

Booming up and Down

Why? Because it’s easier to control
headroom with Booming than tilting.

Practice holding the

SOLO

as low as

possible and raising it above your head,
keeping the post vertical, then back down.
Walk the line and keep your TOP
crosshair at the top of the frame.
Walk forward AND backwards and
maintain your frame in both directions.
