TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
- When using a heavier camera setup (over 8lbs), try to keep the camera closer to the tilt
arm, make sure the tensioner knob is adequately tightened, and experiment with the
position of the support pod socket.
- If you have any questions or problems with the ZG Rig after reading the instructions,
please contact VariZoom directly (512-219-7722).
WARNINGS:
1 – DO NOT OPERATE THE ZG RIG WITH ANY OF THE LOCKING JOINTS LOOSE, AS
DAMAGE OR INJURY COULD RESULT.
2 – ALWAYS STORE AND HANDLE THE SPRING-LOADED SUPPORT POD IN A FULLY
LOCKED STATE (KNOB TIGHTENED THOROUGHLY). ONLY LOOSEN THE KNOBS
WHEN THE SUPPORT POD IS MOUNTED UNDER THE WEIGHT OF THE ZG RIG.
3 – DO NOT RUN WHILE OPERATING THE UNIT.
4 – EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN ADJUSTING THE POSITION OF THE POD SOCKET (fig. H)
– DO NOT LOOSEN THE LOCKING SCREW MORE THAN ½ TURN, AS THE TIP OF THE
SCREW ALSO ACTS AS A SAFETY STOP, AND IF YOU BACK THE SCREW OUT TOO
FAR, THE POD SOCKET COULD SLIP OFF THE END OF THE SUPPORT BAR.
