MOUNTING THE VIDEO CAMERA

• Before mounting camera, be sure that Column Clamp Handle is tight and the

wheels are locked.

• Place the Pedestal on a stable and flat floor.
• Mount your Fluid Head on the 100mm bowl. When using a 75mm Head a #378

100/75 bowl adaptor is available from your Miller dealer.

• Mount the camera to the Fluid Head using the quick release camera plate.

Apply all appropriate accessories to the camera up to the maximum of 30kg

total load (camera, head & accessories together). Refer to the Operator’s

Manual of the Fluid Head.

• If necessary use the Pump to increase pressure to the air system or use the

Set Knob to decrease the pressure. Use the complete vertical stroke of the

Pedestal Column to test what is the ideal situation.

• If too much air pressure is applied the safety valve will open and air will

escape from the system to prevent it from being overloaded.
