Fitting a camera

WARNING!
To fit a camera, proceed as follows:
Lower the mounting to a convenient working height.
If not already fitted, install the wedge adaptor (1) in the middle position on the slide plate (14) (see
Repositioning the wedge adaptor on page 13).
Attach the wedge to the camera/lens.
Ensure that the centre lock (16) is engaged (see Locking the platform on page 10).
Apply the pan brake (4) (see Pan and tilt brakes on page 10)
Slide the wedge adaptor operating lever (2) forward (parallel to the wedge) about 6 mm (1/4 in.)
against spring tension. Pull the operating lever out, away from the body of the wedge adaptor, as
far as it will go.
Insert the camera wedge into the wedge adaptor and push it forward into full engagement. Push in
the operating lever (1) until it lies parallel with the wedge adaptor body. During this operation
resistance of the spring-loaded over-centre mechanism will be felt. As the lever reaches the end
of its travel it will slide back (parallel to the wedge) to the locked position.
Confirm that the lever is in the locked position. This is indicated by coloured bands above the lever.
When the green band only is visible, the lever is locked. If any of the red band can be seen, the
lever is not locked.
Install the remainder of the payload (lens, zoom and focus controls, viewfinder, prompter etc.).
