13. Support the weight of the camera cables with a wire tie attached to the wire tie mount on the
lower corner of the face of the PT10 (FIG. 13).
PT30 Camera/Lens Mounting and Balancing
The camera/lens assembly should be mounted so the tilt axis is capable of going through the optical
axis of the camera, assuming the optical centerline is between ½" (12.70 mm) and 5" (127.00 mm)
above the mounting plane of the camera lens. The mounting platform (camera cradle) allows the
camera/lens to be mounted with its center of gravity on the tilt axis. The maximum camera/lens
weight supported is 30 lbs. (13.6 kg). The camera cradle is mounted to the Tilt Hub (FIG. 18).
Do not lift the PT30 by the Camera/lens cradle as this procedure could damage internal
components. To mount and balance the assembly:
1. Remove the eight 32 x ¾" (19.95 mm) screws and washers securing the camera cradle to the
pan/tilt head.
2. Obtain a camera and a balancing beam, such as a pipe. The pipe is used to balance the camera/
lens on the cradle assembly.
3. Mount the camera to the camera/lens cradle assembly (FIG. 19).
4. Attach the camera/lens to the cradle with a fastener recommended by the camera manufacturer.
Allow the camera to slide along the horizontal grooves without sliding off.
