1 User Advisory / Application Requirements
!
The SRH-3 stabilized remote head and related products should only be used by experienced and
trained operators. This product is not designed for inexperienced users, and must not be used without
proper training.
Stabilization of remote heads is an extremely complex and at times difficult task and therefore
stabilized remote heads do have their limitations. For example, the remote head will only correct for
angular movement and not parallel movement. This means that when the remote head is attached
directly to a lift, or to a pole, or structure that is subjected to vertical movement, it cannot compensate
for lift as it moves up and down (because that movement is parallel). In order to absorb vertical and
parallel movements, the remote head must be mounted on a suitable shock absorber.
Stabilization systems are limited by engine power, as well as their bandwidth or frequency response.
Very fast movements required to correct the camera position may not be within system capabilities.
This can be seen when using longer lenses.
The use of suitable Iso Dampers devices improves the application.
Mounting a suitable Iso Dampers device between the remote head and the mounting point of the head,
will soak up the fast, unwanted movements, leaving the stabilization with unwanted movements that
are slower and within the bandwidth of the system.
There are many Iso Damper devices that follow different designs and qualities. !
Choosing the right Iso Damper is as important as the stabilized head itself.!
Another purpose of Iso Dampers is that they decouple the stabilized remote head from some
resonance and flexing of the mounting point.
All gimbal-based stabilized remote heads will always face some kind of drift.
Drift is unwanted movement of the system usually caused by the gyros and the earth’s rotation, which
can’t be measured by the MEMS sensors.
Drift is normally measured in degrees per hour.
The SRH-3 remote head has a very small amount of drift that would only be noticed while the head is
stationary over a long period of time. The average drift can be up to approximately 10° in 30 minutes.!
Drift can also be caused by a non-calibrated joystick or a loose camera setup, or an Iso Damper that is
too soft.
Reduction of flexing or bending of the camera and lens package, and flexing of the remote head
attachment are critical. The overall setup needs be as rigid as possible because any flexing can cause
the head to vibrate or oscillate. Every attempt to improve the stiffness of the camera setup and the
head attachment, and to reduce or eliminate any flexing should be made.
Many different camera and lens packages can be used with the SRH-3, and there are also many
different ways to mount the remote head. As a result, it is not always possible or practical to obtain
perfect conditions regarding rigidity and balance. This may cause the load to become unstable and it
will then shake and oscillate when the stabilization is active. In these situations, adjustment of the PID
parameters will be required. The correct setting of these PID values is crucial for the proper working of
the system.
An unbalanced camera setup will place more strain on the motors of the SRH-3. The system will need
more force to move the load and this will sometimes increase the possibility of the load becoming
unstable, and that the remote head may over compensate or shake and oscillate.
Please remember that what the remote head is mounted on, and the manner in which it is mounted,
will directly impact on its performance. The total mass of the head and its load are an important
consideration when choosing how and where to mount it. This torque will change in direction and
amplitude in varying amounts. The more solid the mount, the easier it is for the system to perform well.
Sometimes even the leveling linkage on a camera crane will have play or backlash that allows the
mounting point to move slightly when loads are reversed. If there is mechanical play between the
components in the shock absorber, vibrations of the overall system may occur. Iso Dampers with the
appropriate dimensions and hardness should always be used - the system may become too elastic if
the Iso Damper used is too soft, causing vibration.
NOTE!
Each of these aspects can lead to the motor power of single axis having to be lowered, !
which will limit the effectiveness of the overall stabilisation.!

Safety Instructions!
"
Pay attention during setup and the entire operation that no fingers or limbs end up
between the outer yoke 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
Keep in mind that the SRH-3 stabilized remote head is a fully stabilized Gimbal based
device with a payload capacity of 30kg / 66 lb. The amount of available torque is very high.

To be able to do a 90° top down shot, the camera needs
to mounted in a certain way into the ring. !
!
The junction boxes of the ring needs to point in the
same direction as the lens.
If you don’t align the home position, the
performance of the remote head will be affected
and the pan range will be reduced by more than
50%.
!CAUTION
Before powering up the remote head, align the
home position indicator arrows as shown.
!CAUTION
While the camera setup the Tilt Lock needs to be

9PID / Quick Setup
Step 12
Camera Weight Preselection!
!
To make setting the PID values as easy as possible, the user can select !
a light or heavy camera preset from the submenu.!
Touch PID Touch Default Select preset!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
NOTE !
Low stands for a camera weight of 5 kg - 10 kg, which is used in a low dynamic setup.
Highstands for a camera weight of 10 kg - 20 kg and more, which is used in a high
dynamicsetup.
!
!
!
!
Step 13
PID Setup Fine Trim!
NOTE !
Start with a solid camera setup!
1Set Ramp to ZERO on the Joystick (Pan & Tilt) (K4 & K5)!
!
2Adjusting the Power value for Tilt first.!
!
By physical Selecting the lens, try move the !
Tilt axis down and check if the camera slipping. !
3If the Tilt axis slips, you must increase the !
Power for the Tilt axis.!
NOTE!
When the remote head starts to vibrate, !
reduce the power value! !
!
4Once the Tilt Power value meets your !
expectations, the same Power value will !
be used for the Pan axis as well. !
Press Save!
5 Adjusting the PID values:
NOTE
First, you need a camera picture.!
6Choose a fixed point in the set.!
!
7Use the joystick to pan and stop the remote head !
at the selected point in the set.
!
!
!
PID / Quick Setup

8Check if the camera:
• stops at the selected point
• whether the camera exceeds the point
• whether the camera is bouncing left and right
9If the camera exceeds the desired point, !
increase the Pand D values in increments of five.
NOTE
The D value must be min. 5 steps higher !
thantheP value.
!
NOTE
When the remote head starts to vibrate, !
reduce the P value!!
!
10 If the remote head bounces to the left and !
right when you reach the desired point, you !
must slowly increase the D value of the Pan !
axis.
!
11 Once the PID value of the Pan axis meets !
your expectations, the same PID value will !
be used for the Tilt axis as well. !
!
Press Save!!
!
Step 14
12Drop!
!
At very steep angles, the weight distribution !
of the camera setup changes extremely. !
!
The Drop setting permanently balances the !
Pan and Tilt values as the camera angle !
gets steeper and steeper.
Slowly move the camera to the 90° top-down
position.!
As the remote head begins to vibrate, slowly !
increase the Drop value until the remote head !
stops vibrating.
!
NOTE
Without any Drop compensation,
strong vibrations occur at steep angles.
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
NOTICE
It is important to understand and to accept that all necessary steps, such as setting up
the camera, attaching the remote head to the crane, the quality of the crane itself and the
PID settings, must be taken into account and properly performed. If only one step is
missing, the desired overall system performance !
can not be achieved.
