2. Attach Handle: Align the rosette on the handle with the rosette on the camera cage. Securely fasten the handle using the integrated locking mechanism. Ensure it is tightened to prevent rotation during use.
3. Adjust Position (Rosette): The handle can be rotated at the rosette connection point to achieve the desired initial angle.
4. Adjust Position (Articulating Center): For fine-tuning the handle's position, press the release button located at the articulating center joint. While holding the button, rotate the handle to your preferred angle. Release the button to lock the handle in place. This allows for quick adjustments, including positioning the handle to provide easy access to the RED Komodo's top screen.
