Note:The Kamio is not recommended for older lenses without a fixed barrel. Fixed
barrel lenses are designed to support the weight of the Kamio and keep the fixture
properly oriented.
.
The Kamio Ring Light is designed to mount directly to the camera lens. An
expandable clamping ring is designed to fit lenses with an outside diameter
of 112mm. ( eg.Panavision Primo Primes). Turn the locking screw to clamp
down on the lens. Lens adapter rings are available to accommodate various
smaller lens diameters. ( see “Accessories” for details )
Filter Tray holdsamaximum of two
4” x 5.65” filter holders. Each filter holder
has a detent on one side of the frame. To
properly secure the holder, the detents
should align with the two small pushball set
screws on the tray.
The tension can be adjusted by using a
flat jeweler’s screwdriver (1) to vary the
depth of the screw setting. The silver
thumbscrews (2) lock the filter trays in
position. Lens Clamp(3), locks Kamio to
lens.
Changing Lamps
Extract the lamp by pushing
the lamp harness through the
reflector. The lamp will clear
the reflector making it easier
to grasp.

IMPORTANT: Prior to using the filter frame, remove
translucent protective plastic coating from both sides. Use the
steel gel template to cut a filter to the correct size. The filter is
then taped to the transparent filter frame.

harnesses or Head Extension Cables. Maximum distance, 50ft ( 2 x 25ft cables ).
Ballast Operation
The 12 V Single Ballast operates remote from the fixture. Connect the Kamio lamp harness to
the extension cable or
the Ballast, making sure to rotate the locking ring until it clicks into the
locked position. After the lamps are properly installed, the Ballast can be turned on. Avoid
operating in temperatures above 125°F (51°C).
(Note: The dimmer should be full up w
hen striking the lamp. Once the lamp has come up to full
temperature, in 3
-5 minutes, then dim to the desired light level.)
It is normal for the lamp to take 1-2 seconds to ignite. In cold temperatures the Ballast may
take longer to ignite the lamp. If it
does not ignite within 5 seconds, switch the ballast to OFF,
and try again. If lamp does not strike after 2 or 3 attempts, turn Ballast off, check that the
harness or any extension connections are secure and restrike.
