What’s included?

Assembly

1. Put the Center Shaft (B) onto the Base Plate (A) and secure the two together using the thumb screw on the side of the Center Shaft (B). See Fig. 1.
2. Insert the Long Rails (C) inside their tracks on the Center Shaft (B)
3. Add 1 set or 2 sets of Short Rails (D) to the Long Rails (C) depending on your need.
4. Secure the rails using the 2 thumbscrews on the side of the Center Shaft (B).

Your setup should now look like

1. Slide and secure onto the Long Rails (C) one of the Clamps (E) in order to prevent the rails from twisting.
2. Slide and secure on the long rails (C) the Camera Clamp (D). Insert and secure the Camera Pole (F) into the Camera Clamp (D).
3. On the other end of the poles, first, insert the Backdrop Clamp (H). Lock the clamp into position.
4. Still, on the same side, insert the 2nd Clamp (E) and lock it into position.

**At this point, your setup should look like

**

1. Place the Top Plate (J) on the Center Shaft (B).
2. Mount the Backdrop (I) to the Backdrop Clamp (H) and position the Backdrop as close as possible to the Top Plate (J).
3. Mount your camera onto the Camera Pole (G).
4. Add Counterweight (K) onto the Clamp (E) behind the backdrop to balance the rig. When balanced correctly, the poles should spin seamlessly.

Mounting Options

• The Center Shaft (B) can be mounted directly onto a C-Stand as shown in Fig. 5.
• The Base Plate (A) features 4 holes for mounting purposes. Screws are not included.

Available Adjustments

• Height of the camera via the Camera Pole (G)
• The angle of the camera via the ball head at the end of the Camera Pole (G)
• Position of the camera along the rails.
• Position and number of counterweights.

Warning: When using a Cellphone, be aware that the built-in stabilization in most cellphones will make the subject at the center of the Top Plate look off-centered on videos. With the phone rotating around a fixed subject, the stabilization switches cameras and prevents the subject from being perfectly centered.
