Mounting the payload
When the camera is installed, the remaining payload (incl. viewfinder, pan bars, teleprompter,
etc., and cables) can be attached to the head.
Fitting a teleprompter
A teleprompter can be fitted to the head using the mounting bracket supplied. The bracket is
fitted into the teleprompter mounting holes [3] on the front of the head and secured into position
using the teleprompter mounting clamps [5] (see Fig. 1 on page 11).
Fitting the pan bars
Two telescopic pan bars are supplied with the head, allowing camera operators to manually
operate the head. Pan bar mounting points [6] are located at the back of the head on either side
of the camera cradle. Fit the pan bars on to the pan bar mountings and adjust the position of
each pan bar before tightening the clamps. Adjust the length of the telescopic pan bar as
required. If lens hand controls are required for manual operation, these must be mounted to the
pan bars before balancing the head (see Fig. 1 on page 11).
Fitting a hand-control unit
Vinten Radamec can supply a range of hand-control units designed to automate the switching
of camera lens control (Canon or Fujinon) between robotic control and manual hand controls.
These units are mounted to the head, either to the underside of the camera cradle, or attached
to the side of the head, and connected to the Zoom and Focus/Digital ports (see Fig. 2 on
page 12).
Attaching the FVR box to the head (FH-100 VR only)
The FVR box features an integral head mounting bracket which attaches to fixing holes under
the base of the head (see Fig. 7 below).
To mount the FVR box on an FH-100 head, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the two screws at the rounded end of the base of the head and discard.
2. Mount the FVR box by placing the bracket against the base of the head. Align the
base and bracket screw holes.
3. Secure into position using the two long bolts supplied as shown in Fig. 7 below.
