The releasing of the Remote Head with mounted counterweights on the crane has a sudden shooting up of the crane as a consequence! There is a risk of the camera crane tipping over! Always observe absolutely the correct order when assembling/ disassembling the crane and the remote head! In the remote base the wedge plate is performed with oblique grooves.
5.3.2 Trimming the camera on the tilt axis in the vertical direction It is necessary to adjust the height of the camera with respect to the pivot around the tilt axis. For best results, trim the camera's center of gravity at the tilt axis. Open the height adjuster and the trim tube lock.
Page 18
Example A (O.K.) Camera focus in the amount of the bending axis. With optimal trimming the camera remains stationary in any tilted position. Example B ( Not O.K.) Camera focus above the tilt axis. If the trim is not correct, the camera tilts forward or backward.
5.3.3 Trimming the camera on the tilt axis in the horizontal direction Example A (O.K.) Put the camera exactly centered below the centerline. So you will achieve a uniform pivoting movement. Example B (not O.K.) The camera sits close to the tilt motor. That means, it supports the asymmetry and causes distortions.
