Page 17: Mounting The Camera And Attaching Lens Holding Accessories
Figure 13: Bubble level According to specifications, the weight of the PaulinhoB head is 2.9 kg. Please ensure that all the mounting elements can withstand the weight of the PaulinhoB head and its payload of up to 5kg. During the assembly and disassembly of the PaulinhoB head, the power cable must be disconnected.
Page 18 assembly combinations for mounting the motor holding tools together with the camera. This allows for many mounting positions of the carbon tubes holder, which in turn means additional flexibility for mounting, depending on each camera and lens configuration. This also ensures that the system is correctly balanced and the external lens motors (if applied) can be properly mounted on the carbon tubes.
Page 19 Table 1: Lens holder accessories mounting Parts included Initial construction Construction on the camera System setup...
Page 20 Table 1 covers all the elements and cases for mounting the lens holding accessories. The 1 row in Table 1 shows the most basic construction consisting of a camera mounting plate and mount screws, carbon tube holder with its 4 M4x12 screws (this already comes screwed and you can adjust it later) and 2 M6x20 screws from the Lens holder package.
Page 21 The 2 row in Table 1 shows the case in which the tube holder spacer for carbon tube holder is placed between the camera mounting plate and carbon tube holder using two M6×45 screws. It can be placed on both sides of the camera mounting plate and it is used in some cases for filling the distance between the carbon tubes and the camera lenses.
Page 22: Mounting External Lens Motors
Otherwise, external lens motors should be mounted. In this case, the carbon tube holder should be mounted as explained in the section Mounting the camera and attaching lens holding accessories. These external lens motors can be used with the PaulinhoB head to control zoom, focus and iris. The PDMOVIE package contains external motors and accessories needed for their proper mounting and use.
Page 23 Figure 15: Lens motor gear wheels switching A lens strip should be placed to cover the center of the moving ring. The diameter of the lens strip should be a bit smaller than the diameter of the moving ring. If this is not the case, a part of the lens strip should be cut away.
Page 24 Figure 16: Lens motors and lens strips with zip ties 2. Insert the carbon tubes into the carbon tube holder (Figure 17). To tighten the carbon tubes in the carbon tube holder, use four M4×12 screws (provided with the Lens holder package).
Page 25 Figure 17: Carbon tubes in the carbon tube holder 3. Mount the PDMOVIE lens motors onto the carbon tubes and align them to their respective lens gear rings. It is recommended to mount the motors on alternating sides of the lens if the space allows.
Page 26 Figure 18: Incorrect and correct lens motor alignment 5. Verify that the gear disk of the lens motor is at the same height as the middle of the lens (see Figure 19). Additionally, a snug fit between the lens gear and motor gear should be ensured so that there is no risk of the gear wheel becoming disconnected during operation.
