Thank you for purchasing a Cambo product
The Cambo CS system complies with the “Arriflex
®
15mm Light Weight” standard.
This means the CS system is compatible with parts of other brands using the 15mm
light weight standard. The 15mm light weight standard characteristics are: 15mm iris
rods that are positioned 60mm apart and 85mm below the optical axis.
The Cirus-rig has an adjustable positioning of the camera in the x and y-axis.
Ensuring the optimal viewing position, whether you use a loupe or a direct view on
the DSLR monitor.
Due to the modular character of the Cambo rig system, the user is fully in charge of
customizing the rig to his or her personal preferences.
The Cirus-rig can be used with any follow-focus and/or matte box, this rig
configuration centers the weight of the rig on the handle axis.
The distance between the optical centre of the lens and the iris rods is adjustable,
making this rig applicable to different types of cameras.
For use of DSLR with battery pack the CS-153 clamp can be turned upside down,
lowering the camera mount.
Warnings
Before loosening a clamp knob, ensure that the loosened part of the rig is
supported.
Do not tighten the clamp without a rod inserted. This can deform and damage
the clamp.

Always check, after (re)assembly of the rig, if the clamps connecting the rods
are well tightened.
Do not lift the rig while holding only one handle. This could lead to excessive
force momentum on the handle joint, causing it to shift.

CS-Eris rig adjustments
Its advisable to use a tripod
for the assembly of the CS-
Eris rig.
Its also advisable to use
quick-release plates for the
connection between the rig
and camera and between rig
and tripod. This ensures a
fast decoupling of both rig
and camera.
The “15mm Arriflex LW”
standard, indicates a distance
of 85mm between the optical
axis and the axis of the rods.
Due to the variation in
camera bodies and quick-
release plates the distance
between the camera and rods
is adjustable.
Use a hex-key 4mm to loosen
the socket bolt, by turning it
counter clockwise. Set the
distance between camera
and rods to the appropriate
value, fasten the CS-M1
mount by turning the hex-key
clockwise (do not over tighten
the bolt).
