Opsætning

Mounting and Balancing a Camera

Proper mounting and balancing are crucial for optimal gimbal performance. Follow these steps to prepare your camera for use.

Quick Release Plate & L-Bracket Installation

Mount your camera onto the camera quick release plate and tighten the screw. Loosen the L-Bracket with the thumb screw wrench, which is magnetically attached. Attach the camera with the quick release plate onto the L-Bracket, aligning one side against the handle side of the camera, considering the camera's width. Then, firmly tighten the screw on the bottom.

Camera Vertical Video Mode

The L-bracket supports two vertical installation options. Loosen the mount latch, rotate the camera with the L-Bracket 90° to switch to vertical shooting mode. Insert the L-Bracket into the mount slot and lock the mount latch securely. You can install the L-bracket on either the left or right side based on your specific requirement. When installed on the left side (e.g., Sony ZV-E10), you can use the flip-out screen to view the composition. When installed on the right side (e.g., Sony A7R IV), you can attach accessories to the hot shoe facing outward.

Axis Balancing

Note: Please adjust your camera lens to the desired focal length before balancing.

1. Tilt Axis Balancing:

• Unlock the tilt motor.
• Rotate the tilt arm to make the camera lens point upward.
• Loosen the vertical tilt lock.
• Move the camera forward and back until it can remain still and maintain a vertical balance with the ground.
• Once achieved, tighten the vertical tilt lock.

2. Horizontal Balancing of the Tilt Axis:

• Rotate the tilt arm to make the camera lens point forward.
• Check the center of gravity.
• Unlock the quick release plate latch.
• Move the camera assembly forward or backward until it comes to a stable and motionless position, aligning it parallel to the ground.
• Once achieved, lock the quick release plate latch.

3. Roll Axis Balancing:

• Unlock the roll axis motor lock switch.
• Unlock the roll axis arm latch.
• Move the roll axis arm left and right until the camera remains relatively still and level with the ground when released.
• Lock the roll axis arm latch.

4. Pan Axis Balancing:

• Unlock the pan motor lock switch.
• Hold and tilt the handle slightly. Check to make sure the camera is not left or right heavy.
• Unlock the pan axis arm latch.
• Move the pan arm along with the camera and the upper part of iSteady MT2 until the pan arm is approximately balanced.
• Then, lock the pan axis arm latch.
