Adding The Counter Weights
 Securing the counter weights to the Jib is accomplished by the use of the stainless steel
shank. It has two lock os, one for each side of the Arm to prevent the weights from
shiing during use or accidentally falling o the jib.
 Standard exercise weights (not supplied) with a 1’ hole are easily rig mountable and are
used to equal the weight placed on the camera side of the Jib.
 Once you discover correct balance,
consider marking the weights for that
