PROAIM KITE-22 WONDER PACKAGE

OPERATION


With the camera set up as previously described above, Power ON by pressing the RED
Switch on the top of the Joystick control box.

For inverted use, disconnect the leads to the motors, rotate the control box 180 degrees
and re-install.
Note Remember practice makes perfect and always watch the cables for binding.
PROAIM™ GOLD PAN TILT HEAD
The PROAIM Gold Pan Tilt Head circuitry is built entirely into the joystick box. The only other
requirement is the AC power pack (provided) or battery power. The power pack can handle 90-
240 volts. Users will need the appropriate plug adapter for local use.
JOYSTICK
The joystick is a two-axis variable speed servo controller. The further you move in one direction
the faster the output to that motor. This will be a little tricky at first, but little practice will
improve your success.
The joystick may be operated in a handheld position or from a flat surface such as a tabletop, or
attached to the boom arm of Jib.
After plugging the power cord into a proper outlet, press 'power on. The LED light on the
control box should illuminate and the head may jump slightly on start up or shut down. This
is normal. This can be controlled by Dead Spot. Adjust the joystick to ensure correct
movement of the head. It may be necessary to reconnect to the motors if required.

POWER CONTROL

To the right and above the joystick is a knob labeled "SPEED".
This is the power control knob. Turning to the right will be full power and back to the left will
decrease the available power to both pan and tilt operation. The advantage of power control is
to be able to limit power when only slow accurate movements are needed. With the power
control at half power (approx. 8 volts max. output) the full range of motion on the joystick will
be between 0 and 8 volts making finer adjustments possible. The power control will be usable
between a range of approximately 4 volts to 12 volts.
DEAD SPOT
The knob to the left is marked Dead Spot. Turned all the way to the left (counterclockwise) will
create the smallest dead spot. Meaning that the head will begin to move as soon as the small-
est deflection of the joystick is made. Moving to the right will increase the area where no pow-
er is sent to the head motors. At half way, the dead spot will close again, this helps to avoid
crossing the tilt when only pan movement is desired.
The dead spot is so tight when the control knob is all the way to the left, it may be necessary to
back it off slightly until no movement is seen in either axis.
Note: With the dead spot all the way left the head may move in both axis on it's own. The dead
spot should be set at approx. the 9:00 position to insure that no unwanted movement
occurs.
