Assembly & Setup
Jigabot EX Twofer
Once you’ve done previous steps to
verify how easily you can track with your
EX Bots, you can assemble two EX units into a
Pan &Tilt Twofer, and then mount a camera, as
follows.With the power OFF:
1. Attach the rst bracket to the EX that
will be your base unit.
2. Attach the second EX to the same
bracket.
3. Mount a camera (weighing under 5
pounds) and center the camera weight
over both axes of rotation.
4. Attach the second bracket to the
second EX unit.
5. Balance the load front & side
1. Attach the rst bracket to the EX
using two 1/4”-20 screws (included), and a
5/32” hex wrench (included).
4. Attach the second bracket (and
camera) to the second EX unit using two
1/4”-20 screws (included) and a 5/32” hex
wrench (included).This is best done with
a tripod and two people: one holding the
camera & bracket, and one crewing in the
screws.
3. Mount a camera using the included
1/4”-20 screw and included 5/32” hex
wrench.This is best done with two people:
one holding the bracket, and one mounting
the camera. NOTE: do not mount a load
over 5 pounds!
5. Balance & Level the camera load by
sliding the camera & brackets until the load
is centered over the axis of rotation. Use the
“imaginary red line” approach. Finally: make
sure that your tripod is level to the ground!
2. Attach the second EX to the same
bracket using four M4 screws (included)
and a 3mm hex wrench (included).

Assembly & Setup
Jigabot EX Twofer
Setup--to keep in mind
EX Bot Twofer is an assembly of two EX Bots: a Lower (for panning or swiveling left and right) and an Upper (for tilting or aiming up and down).
The Lower EX Bot (the one responsible for panning or swiveling) has an angle of view of 26-degrees downward (or upward), or vertical angle of view of 52-degrees total. So for it to
function (pan left and right), the DOTs must not be outside of this line of sight.
If the EX Bot Twofer cannot see the subject’s DOTs, you will need to either decrease the height of the Twofer, or tilt the entire Twofer unit down slightly. NOTE: the Twofer will operate
most smoothly if it is level with the oor (see next few pages for ideal setup). Therefore, decreasing the height of the Twofer where possible, is best.

Assembly & Setup
Jigabot EX Twofer
Setup Step 1
Whether you use a tripod or another mounting device (such as a wall bracket), you
should make sure it is level with the ground. Once the Lower EX Bot is attached to the
tripod or bracket, it too should be level with the ground. NOTE: leveling the tripod and
Lower EX Bot will provide for the smoothest panning (swiveling form side to side.)

Assembly & Setup

Setup Step 2
When the EX Bot Twofer is elevated relative to the subject, it will frame the subject by
tilting down to aim at it. (That is, the Upper EX Bot will tilt down).The camera should be
balanced (see step 3 on right) so that when tilted down, and powered OFF, it will hold its
position until powered on again.
Setup Step 3
In order to balance the camera load on the upper EX Bot, power OFF the
EX Bot Twofer, then slide camera forward or backwards until it holds its tilt
position.
