The pictures above show all the parts before assembly. The red arrows show the order of
assembly. Every tightening knob has a Teflon spacer (white rings) to reduce friction and to
protect the paint of the bracket. Between horizontal and vertical turntables are rubber gaskets
(black rings) to increase friction and prevent unwanted rotation. Two Teflon spacers are
supplied for the horizontal turntable. In case, you want to rotate the horizontal arm without
loosening and tightening the knob every time, you can place one of the Teflon spacer between
the rubber gasket and the horizontal arm, so that the horizontal arm is sandwiched by 2 Teflon
spacers. This reduces the friction. By adjusting the tightening knob above, you can create an
adjustable tension around the horizontal turntable. So you can rotate the horizontal arm
smoothly while still getting enough tension to hold the bracket steadily. Note that you MUST
rotate in CLOCKWISE manner; otherwise, the tightening knob will be loosened by the friction.
And the whole assembly may fall down!
EPDM polymer is a high quality and durable rubber. The EPDM adapter plate allows you
to mount your camera (with tripod mount under the lens axis) directly to the vertical rotator arm
without using the off-axial adapter. This gives you extra convenience without the hassle to lock
your camera to the off-axial adapter first. However, the off-axial adapter is important to extend
the range of axial adjustment and it is a must for off-axial tripod mount.
The off-axial adapter is covered with a high quality rubberized slip-resistant material.
This protects your camera from scratches and keeps it in proper position. Other sliding/
movable parts are also covered with the same material.
Along each adjustment is laser engraved scale in 1 mm interval just like a standard ruler.
The grooves of the scales are filled with water resistant paint to increase clarity. For the axial
and off-axial adjustments, scales are engraved on both sides of the arm or plate. On the end of
