The Vest
The purpose of the vest is to comfortably distribute the
weight of the camera and stabilizing system on your body.
To achieve optimal results, you should adjust the vest so
that it fits snugly.
Adjust the vertical fit by
adjusting the straps, pulling the
chrome release pin and sliding
the chest plate up or down until
you find the right position.
-The arm bridge has been
replaced by the MX Trim
adjuster – see instructions for
the MX-TA.
- Adjust the tightness of the vest around your waist using
the Velcro strap, drawing
it around evenly on both sides of the
lower vest pad.
-Adjust the tightness around your torso by positioning the
Velcro straps across the back of the vest and securing the
buckles to the chest plate. Make the vest as tight as
possible to maximize operational quality and comfort. Once
you’ve adjusted the vest, remove it for easy re-suiting by
unclipping the buckles and strap on one side only.
