Stud Wall Mounting

First determine whether the structural members in the wall can withstand
not only the weight of the Sx600, but also the side-to-side stresses of heavy
cross-winds. Reinforce both sides of the wall with heavy plates, ¾ inch
marine plywood minimum, and use through bolts. Never rely on lag bolts
alone. Additional side-to-side support may be had by attaching simple steel
outriggers (not included) from the SuperSAM pivot bolt to the next stud

on either side of the mounting bracket. Never mount to a wall containing
plaster or drywall without backing plates.

I-Beam Mounting

Because of the vast number of sizes and conditions of their use, consult a
licensed structural engineer for the approved method of attaching an Sx600
to any particular I-Beam or other structural component.

Mounting Surface Reinforcement

If in doubt: Make It Stronger. Strong side winds will exert tremendous side
leverage along the axis of the mounting bolts sufficient to crush some sur-
faces. A large backing plate and/or steel outriggers attached from the pivot
bolt to the wall 16" to 24" either side of center makes a simple and effective
reinforcement in most situations.
