Warranty 

 
 

Please read before using your equipment 

 

 

Xtended Camera Support will warranty this product against defects in material and workmanship 

for a period of one year from the date of invoice.  XCS will pay parts and labor charges to repair or 
replace any manufacturers defect under normal operating conditions.  The buyer will be responsible for all 
shipping charges. 
 

This warranty does not cover, nor will the manufacturer be responsible for, damages caused from 

abuse, misuse, negligence, accidents, cosmetic damage, or by acts of God.  All warranties expressed or 
written will be voided if this equipment has been damaged by abuse, misuse, negligence, or accident. 
 

Great care in engineering design has been made resulting in no serviceable parts inside this sled 

and monitor.  Care must be taken when using all your equipment.  One should protect it from water, dirt, 
shock, and excessive heat.  Proper care of your equipment should be mandatory in your mind.  After all, if 
the equipment fails, you stop working. 
 

If you have any questions on care for any of this equipment, please call XCS and we will be glad 

to advise you on any maintenance of our equipment. 
 

Proper care should be taken when shipping your equipment to protect it from shock damage.  At 

least 2.0” of a 4 lbs. Ester foam (or equal) should surround your equipment at all times when shipping.  
Case design is made so that the case will absorb the impact and the case will give up its life, protecting 
the equipment inside. 
 

Unlike any sled ever designed before, it takes a special and knowledgeable operator to 

understand the technical hurdles and advancements made with the Ultimate sleds.  We thank you for 
choosing it.  We understand you have many options for sleds out there, and most of them are less 
expensive to purchase.  However, an informed operator can quickly weed out all the competition, on 
every design feature, and only one manufacturer stands alone. 
 

With proper care, this equipment will provide you with many years of service.  Thank you for 

choosing Xtended Camera Support.  We have only the operator in mind for all our designs. 

 

*

 The use of 50Ω plugs will permanently damage all the HDSDI connectors on the unit. The use of 50Ω plugs is considered to 

be misuse of the equipment and will therefore invalidate the unit’s warranty. Please check and update those old BNC cables 
there is no place in the HD world for them.
