Mode d'emploi

Rotation à 360°

The side handle features a push-button mechanism for quick angle adjustments. To rotate the handle:

1. Locate the unlock button on the handle.
2. Appuyez sur le bouton de déverrouillage et maintenez-le enfoncé.
3. While holding the button, rotate the handle to your desired angle (up to 360°).
4. Release the button to lock the handle in the new position.

Précaution de sécurité importante : When adjusting the angle, always hold the camera or rig securely with your other hand to prevent accidental drops or damage.

Fixation des accessoires

The handle provides various mounting points for additional accessories:

• 1/4"-20 Locating Holes: Use these threaded holes to attach remote controllers, magic arms, or other accessories with 1/4"-20 screws.
• Support de sabot froid : The integrated cold shoe mount allows for direct attachment of accessories such as monitor mounts, microphones, or video lights.

Entretien

• Regularly inspect all screws and connections to ensure they are tight. Use the included Allen wrench for tightening if necessary.
• Clean the handle and NATO rail with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish or silicone grip.
• Store the handle in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use.

Dépannage

Handle is loose or wobbly after attachment

Ensure the locking knob on the NATO clamp is fully tightened. If the issue persists, check if the NATO rail itself is securely attached to your camera cage. Re-tighten any loose screws using the Allen wrench.

Rotation mechanism feels stiff or does not lock properly

Ensure the unlock button is fully depressed when attempting to rotate. If the mechanism feels stiff, check for any debris or obstructions around the rotating joint. Avoid forcing the rotation; if resistance is significant, contact customer support.
