3 Safety Instructions!

!
!

Safety Instructions
Please check the MAXIMA QL for proper functioning prior to each use and while
considering the operating instructions. An operation without problems can only
be ensured in this manner. !
!
Only use the lithium batteries provided. Batteries which are not approved can
lead to shorts and to damages of the MAXIMA QL. NiMH batteries must not be
used.!
!
Place the batteries into the holder provided cautiously and with care. !
Check the contacts for damage beforehand.!
Do not subject the MAXIMA QL to humidity and do not immerse it into water. !
Do not short any contacts or modify the power supply or the electronics under
any circumstances.
!CAUTION
The MAXIMA QL contains two separate rings, one for Pan and one for Tilt.!
Both rings can move freely when the MAXIMA is moved out of the hard case and
as long the system is not finally setup.
!Warning
Pay attention during setup that no fingers or other limbs end up between the
outer and inner ring. A high kinetic force can result between the outer and inner
ring, depending on the weight and length of the camera. Serious injuries can
result through negligence.If this does happen then, cut off the power supply
straight away and seek medical attention if necessary.
!DANGER
Ensure that the MAXIMA is switched OFF.!
Under no circumstances push fingers or other limbs in between the moving parts
of the MAXIMA as this can result in injury.
!DANGER

4 Camera Preparation!
!
Foreword!
The entire balancing procedure of the MAXIMA QL system is based on !
SYMMETRY and NEUTRAL BALANCE.!
!
!
!
!
!
!
NOTE!
Only a precisely executed camera preparation will enable you to get the best !
performance out of the MAXIMA QL.!
The camera preparation must meet the following requirements:!
!
!
Compact length!
!
You should keep the COG (center of gravity) of the MAXIMA QL as !
low as possible and the total length of the camera should be as !
compact as possible. !
!
If an ALEXA Mini is being used, a Zoom Lens similar to the ARRI/ !
FUJINON Alura 15.5-45/T2.8 will keep the Camera setup at an !
optimum length.!
If the ARRI ALEXA or AMIRA is being used a Prime Lens will be !
required.!
!
Most box type cameras with a zoom lens are very close to the !
length of a full bodied camera with a prime lens.!
!
!
Low COG (center of gravity)!
!
Any accessories mounted to the camera should be attached as !
low as possible.!
!
!
!
Symmetry!
!
Camera components and accessories that are mounted on the!
camera have to be attached in symmetrically and balanced.!
!
For example:!
If two Focus Motors are needed, use two 15mm rods (equal length !
and same material) and mount them on the base of the camera.!
!
Now place one Focus Motor on each rod. Make sure that the gears are!
facing the front of the lens and the motor housing of the camera body.!
!
If only one Focus Motor is required then two rods are also required. !
Place the Focus Motors vertical below the lens. !
This way you can achieve the need for a low COG and symmetry!
!

4.1 Secure Component / Accessory Attachment!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
NOTE!
Make sure that all components of the camera and accessories in the setup are !
fully tightened. !
Ensure that none of the components are loose or have any play to avoid vibration !
and costly performance issues.!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
4.2 Mounting the Camera Dovetail Plate!
!
The MAXIMA QL comes with a symmetric camera dovetail plate, the so called !
Quick Lock plate.!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
NOTE!
Using the SAM1, SAM2 and the SAM3 plates will speed up the later balancing process !
and guarantee the best performance of the MAXIMA QL.
!
!
!
!
!
!
Keep in mind the MAXIMA QL head is a fully stabilized Gimbal with a payload
capacity of 30kg / 66 lb. The amount of available torque is very high.
!CAUTION
Please double check all clamps are tight and that all components are
fitted correctly.!
!
Ensure that MAXIMA QL is switched OFF.
!CAUTION
Always use two 3/8“ or 1/4“ screws to ensure a solid fit. !
Use always two 3/8“ or 1/4“ screw to ensure a solid fit. !
Using only one screw or a short distance between the screws will force !
sidewise rotation of the camera, as also vibration of the entire system. !
So try to maximize the distance in between the camera screws.

5 Preparing the Quick Lock Camera Mount!
!
The MAXIMA QL comes with a Quick Lock mounting mechanism. !
It offers one clamp mechanism for the Camera Dovetail Plate located at the right
back of the mount and a side to side adjustment located at the front of the mount.!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
5.1 Centering the Quick Lock Camera Mount!
!
NOTE!
Make sure that the side to side adjustment is in a !
center position before you start with the balancing procedure.!
To move the Quick Lock Camera Mount left and right, the !
clamp leaver at the front Quick Lock Camera Mount has !
tobeopen.!
!
NOTE!
Make sure that the clamp is tightened after the adjustment has been done.!
!
!
!
!
5.2 Opening the Quick Lock Camera Mount!
!
To open the Quick Lock Camera Mount clamp mechanism, !
open the clamp leaver on the right side at the back of the
Quick Lock Camera Mount. !
!
!
After you opened the clamp mechanism you can slide !
in the camera dovetail plate inside the ring.!
!
!
NOTE!
It may be necessary to detach some accessories to mount the camera inside the MAXIMA QL
ring. These can be reattached after the camera is mounted. !
!
NOTE!
When adding or removing components from the camera, adjust the fore and aft to bring the
camera into a neutral and horizontal position.!
!
NOTE!
To remove the camera dovetail plate, you will need to push the safety lock, to be able to
release the plate.!
!
NOTE!
Make sure that the camera is always level front to back with the COG fully neutral when the
camera is horizontally adjusting fore and aft.!
!
NOTE!
When adding or removing components from the camera adjust the fore and aft to bring the
camera into a neutral and horizontal position.!
MAXIMA Preparation
Ensure that the MAXIMA is switched OFF.!
Under no circumstances push fingers or other limbs in between the !
moving parts of the MAXIMA as this can result in injury.
!DANGER

!
!!12
!
5.3 Balancing the camera!
!
Fore and Aft!
To get the entire system in a neutral balance, the !
COG of the camera has to be positioned right in the !
center of the main ring. !
The clamp mechanism allows you to adjust the fore !
and aft adjustments to move the camera in into its !
COG (center of gravity).!
!
NOTE!
Before you finally tighten the camera plate, please move the entire camera !
fore and aft until the camera stays horizontal.!
!
NOTE!
Make sure that the clamp mechanism is fully tighten after the fore and aft adjustment.
A slightly loose screw will produce vibrations.!
!
Side to Side!
At the front of the QL mount, you will find the clamp !
mechanism for the side to side adjustment. !
You should always try to keep the camera setup as !
symmetrical as possible. !
But if the camera is still too heavy on any side, you !
should use the side to side adjustment, to get the !
camera sidewise in perfect COG.!
!
NOTE !
Make sure that the clamp mechanism is fully tighten after the fore and aft adjustment.
A slightly loose clamp will produce vibrations.!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
5.4 Powering the MAXIMA QL!
!
The MAXIMA QL is available with Gold Mound and with V-Mount battery mounts.!
!

battery is needed.!
!
!
!
5.5 Connect the camera with the required power cable.!
!
NOTE!
Make sure all power and video cables go through !
the inner ring.!
!
!
!
5.5 Switch on the MAXIMA QL.!
MAXIMA Preparation
