in such a manner where the “T” Handle screw runs parallel to the yoke. Make sure the spigot shaft sits 12mm above the
base of the tripod. There is a recess in the spigot shaft just below the base that is a good indication of where to mount the
spigot. Make sure the area you are placing the product on can withstand the product load (see product label to check on

supplied with the Astro and clamped on one of the side bars, allows the installation of a mobile device, either IOS or
Android to take control of the followspot.
If the Astro was purchased complete with the Canto USA controller A20702074 (available as an optional accessory)
Smartphone Honor 75 Black, pre-loaded with the Android Art-Net Controller app, relevant settings and libraries, it is ready
to be operated. In case you are using your own mobile device, please refer to chapter 12 and 13 of this manual for all the
necessary steps needed to set up the control system.
Select the LED control mode between Wi-Fi (factory setting – if you want to control the color mixing through a mobile
device), DMX and manual. To change the control mode press once the rotary selector until an arrow appears on the menu.
Turn the selector to the right or the left to select the desired mode of operation and press to confirm your selection.
In order to work properly with an external mobile device the Astro must be set in Wi-Fi mode at the default settings. If default
settings have been changed, please refer to chapter 10.23-B to reset the product to factory settings.
