9. Attach the camera package with gyros onto the Middle Mount.
10. Connect all three GYRO STABILIZERS to the JUNCTION BOX (any order/position).

11. Connect the inverter to the JUNCTION BOX using the: 8 ft., 2 pin/male LEMO to: 2 pin/male
LEMO cable.
12. Connect the inverter to a 24 to 28 V camera battery (or other 24 to 28 VDC power supply) using
the: 6 ft., 3 pin/female XLR to: 3 pin/male XLR cable.
Note: pin 1: +V pin 2: GND
AMPHENOL cable
After balancing the Middle Mount the GYRO ASSIST may be turned on. The power On/Off
switch is located on the inverter. The power indicator lamp illuminates when power is switched On.
For optimum performance...
• Balance the Middle Mount with the GYRO ASSIST inactive. Proper balance can only be achieved
when the gyros are NOT spinning.
• Allow the GYRO STABILIZERS to achieve full speed before any attempt is made to move them.
When they are switched On, they slowly gain speed. The spin up period is ten (10) minutes, at
which time the gyros are ready for use.
• Although one 24 to 28 VDC double-block battery can run the GYRO ASSIST three hours, drawing
approximately three amps continuously, it is always a good idea to supply an additional (spare)
battery.
• The gyros must be completely rigid with the Middle Mount, otherwise the operating performance
will be severely diminished. Before each job make sure each gyro unit feels securely fastened.
