Camera/Lens Mounting And Balancing - AMX PTE-300 Operation/Reference Manual

Camera/Lens Mounting and Balancing

The camera/lens assembly should be mounted so the tilt axis is capable of going through the optical axis
of the camera, assuming the optical centerline is between 1/2" (12.70 mm) and 5" (127.00 mm) above
the mounting plane of the camera lens. The mounting platform (camera cradle) allows the camera/lens to
be mounted with its center of gravity on the tilt axis. The maximum weight of the camera/lens
assemblies on the PTE-300 is 30 lbs. (13.6 kg). The camera cradle is mounted to the Tilt Hub (FIG. 14).

Do not lift the PTE-300 by the Camera/Lens cradle, as this could damage internal
components.
To mount and balance the camera/lens:
1. Separate the camera mount and the cradle support bracket by removing the two 1/2" screws on the
underside of the assembly (see FIG. 15) using a 3/32" Allen wrench.
2. Install the camera alignment peg to the mount at the position that best fits the camera/lens.
3. Secure the camera/lens to the mount (at the camera alignment peg) with the 1/2" screw and
1/10" thick washer supplied (see FIG. 15).
