wirings and other additional fixtures.
 Screws for clamping must be fixed firmly. Take one M12 screw (Grade 8.8 or higher) to clamp
bracket, and then screw the nuts.
 Level the two hanging points at the bottom of clamp. Insert fastener to the bottom, lock the two
levers by 1/4 rotating clockwise; then install another clamp.
 Install on safety string which stands at least ten times weight as equipment. Terminal of the
accessory is designed for clamps.
 Make sure pan/tilt lock unlocked or not. Keep the distance more than 1M from equipment to
flammable material or lighting source.
