دستورالعمل های عملیاتی

Once assembled and balanced, the REVO 150 is ready for operation.

1. Adjusting Arm Extension

The rotating arm features an adjustable extension, ranging from a minimum of 24 inches to a maximum of 44 inches. Loosen the locking mechanisms, extend or retract the arm to your desired length, and then securely tighten the locks. This allows for diverse angles, from close-ups to wide shots.

2. Performing 360-Degree Shots

Gently rotate the arm around the central platform to capture smooth 360-degree footage. The precision bearings ensure a fluid motion. For full-body shots, ensure your subject is positioned correctly on the platform.
