Zero Gravity Rig Operating Instructions

Welcome to our new top-of-the-line shoulder support

system for cameras up to 15 lbs - the ZG Rig. In addition

to its totally unique vertical balancing mechanism, this

system is designed to be configurable to virtually any body

type or camera setup, so there are some adjustments and

operational parameters to discover before you begin using

the equipment. The Rig requires minor assembly (see

assembly diagram). It should approximately resemble the

picture at the right. Included are: 3-part shoulder rig,

support pod, belt, camera plate, accessory mount,

removable counterweight. Read the instructions to

ensure that you don’t damage the system or camera.

1A – The first and most important element to understand

is the Tilt Mechanism

. Look at the safety lock (A), and notice how

it slides laterally when the red thumbscrew is loose. When the tilt

arm (w/ “Zero Gravity” label) is perpendicular to the horizontal

support member (w/ “VariZoom” label), the safety lock will slide into

the slot of the tilt arm. Once the red thumbscrew is tightened, the

safety lock prohibits the tilting action of the ZG Rig. The safety lock

allows you to set the ZG Rig down without the system inadvertently

tilting and flopping over, which could cause damage to your

camera. Always engage the safety lock before setting the ZG Rig

down. Conversely, while operating the ZG Rig, the safety lock

should be disengaged so you can tilt freely.

1A2

– Always keep the tensioner knob (A2) tightened close to the

max – only tiny adjustments are needed. The tilt mechanism

should never have any play/wobble, or damage may result.

1B – The position lock lever (B) for the vertical balancing

mechanism is essentially a stainless steel clamping lever. It is

VERY IMPORTANT that this lever is tightened while operating the

ZG Rig and loosened while adjusting the vertical balance. If the

position lock lever is loose while operating the ZG Rig, there will be

excess play in the tilt mechanism that can cause unwanted

shaking and even result in damage to the ZG Rig. If the position

lock lever is tight while you attempt to adjust the vertical balance,

you may cause irreparable damage. Loose = lever up; Tight =

lever down. Basic rule of thumb: if it feels wrong, check your locks

and tensioner knob before proceeding.

1C – The vertical adjustment knob (C) will allow you to raise or

lower the camera platform precisely, but the position lock lever (B) and safety lock (A) must be

disengaged before you make this adjustment, otherwise DAMAGE MAY OCCUR.

WARNING: FOR OPERATION, THE LOCK LEVER (B) MUST BE FULLY TIGHTENED AND

TENSIONER KNOB (A2) MUST BE TIGHT ENOUGH TO REMOVE ANY SIDE-TO-SIDE

WOBBLE/PLAY IN THE TILT MECHANISM, OR SEVERE DAMAGE MAY RESULT!!!
