ADJUSTING THE WIRE TENSIONER
 To add strength and stability to your Jib and allow for maxi-
mum weight carrying, the fore and a wire ends once posi-
oned need to have the slack taken out by use of the wire
adjuster shown above. Once connected in line with the wire,
simply rotate the mid secon handle to ghten the wire add-
ing the required amount of strength to the system. Screw-In System
Wire Adjustment
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.

CAMERA MOUNTING PLATE
 To accommodate various manufacturers and dierent
sized cameras, mulple slots are provided for aach-
ment.
 You will need to ne tune your counterweights to accom-
modate camera, head and other accessories being used
on the Jib Arm.
MOUNTING THE PAN-TILT HEAD
 If you are using the remote capability of a Pan/Tilt Head, it
can be easily mounted to the jib via the 4 slots located at
the corners of the plate using 4 screws.
 This assembly is usually accomplished from the underside
(boom) of the jib camera plate.
