Place the weights as needed (depending on camera weight) to reach a safe operating balance. Weights can be set at different positions on the tube to increase or decrease counter balance.
Straight and curved movements: Set adjustment handle to mid position for straight movement (indicated by a straight line) Straight movements Setting the adjustment handle at any position to the right of center position creates an inward curved movement. Any radius from 1.5m (59in) to straight can be achieved. Curved movements (inward) Curved movements (outward) Setting the adjustment handle at any position to the left of center position creates an outward curved movement.
Set curved movements: Subject 1. Align the camera lens and the C-Pan Arm II with the subject. Subject Subject 2. Move arm out to one side. To maintain the most accurate curve, do not move the arms all the way to the maximum position. 3. Loosen the adjustment handle and slide it to the right. Slide it until the camera lens lines up with the subject again. Tighten adjustment handle. The curvature of the movement becomes parabolic the further it gets to the maximum position.
Tilted and vertical movement: To easily tilt the C-Pan Arm II into a vertical or sloped position, move the arm out to the right side and (while holding the arm firmly) loosen the green fulcrum handle and tilt the arm to the desired position. Set the arm at any desired angle from horizontal to vertical. Always insure that the rosette teeth intermesh correctly when tightening down the green handle. Do not let go of arm before having insured that the fulcrum connection is secured.
Tilted and vertical movement: Straight vertical movements Sloped curved movement To make in and out shots or fly-overs, simply loosen the camera screw and rotate the camera 90 degrees (or the desired angle) on the camera plate and then tighten screw again. The camera plate can then be titled to any angle, depending on what kind of movement is desired.
