PREVENT THE LENS FROM STRIKING THE BASE OF THE HEAD WHEN TILTING. 9) WHEN USING THE CP JR’s ONBOARD LENS CONTROLS TO CONTROL YOUR CAMERA, ALWAYS POWER THE CAMERA UP LAST.

Page 3: General Description
The CinemaPro JR is a lightweight, two-axis motion control head with lens interface controls for zoom and focus. It handles several control signals: RS-232 for Fujinon digital lenses or Varizoom (TOC) motor drives, RS-422 for Canon digital lenses or Preston motor drives, analog control for Fujinon or Canon. - Page 4 Balance the Camera – Although the head will hold position very well, it operates best when the camera is balanced on the mounting platform. With heavier cameras, it is essential, as an out-of-balance load will cause the servos to constantly fight to hold position. Make sure that the motor power is turned off before balancing.
