4. Determine the center of gravity for the camera by using your finger to balance the entire
camera/lens and mount. The center of gravity is the location on the long axis of the camera/
lens assembly around which the camera and mount balances.
5. Note the position of the center of gravity.
6. Place the camera/mount into the appropriate location along the camera support bracket so the
camera’s center of gravity aligns with the horizontal tilt-axis, as shown in FIG. 16.
7. Re-attach the camera mount (with camera/lens) to the cradle support bracket using the two ½"
screws.
8. Take the entire camera/mount and cradle assembly and align the lens with the tilt hub so that
the vertical-axis intersects the center of the camera’s iris, as shown in FIG. 17.
9. Mark the position of the cradle support bracket on the tilt hub (for later attachment).
10. Remove the camera/lens and mount piece from the support bracket by unscrewing the two ½"
screws on the underside of the camera mount.
11. Secure the support bracket to the tilt hub (at the same position marked for the iris alignment)
on the PT10 with some or all of the four ½" screws and washers.
12. Secure the camera/mount to the support bracket by using the two ½" screws.

Make sure to mount the camera as close to the tilt hub as possible to obtain a true
