Picking Up the
Sled
Undocking, setting your threads, and docking the sled
With the vest on and the arm attached to the vest, undock the rig:
• Face the sled and bow at the waist.
Do not bend your knees. It is
helpful to have a friend spotting you
the rst time you do it.
• Align the gimbal mounting hole to
the arm post and slip the arm post
completely into the hole. It’s easiest
to align the parts if the gimbal
handle is positioned behind the rig
(i.e., not to the side, aimed at you).
• Use your right hand to hold the arm
and gimbal together (frame 4).
• Place your left hand on the center
post just below the gimbal to
control the sled. Do not touch the
camera (frame 4).
• Step forward and stand up straight.
You are now ying the sled, but still
locked in the dock.
• Pull the aircraft pin out of the
docking yoke (frame 6).
• Step back from the stand to remove
the sled from the docking bracket.
• Take a deep breath. Relax.
• Move the sled to a position about
45º off your left hip as shown.
• Aim the sled slightly across your
body (frame 9).
