Tripod Set Up
Take the mast with attached tripod out of the bag and
stand it up vertically so that the three feet are on the
ground and the red ring on the opposite end of the mast is
towards the sky.
There are two collars that attach the tripod legs to
the mast. Each collar has a knob that loosens
allowing the mast to slide through the collars.
Leaving the lower collar knob tightened, loosen the
knob on the upper collar.
With the third leg on the ground, take hold of the
other two legs and pull straight out from the mast,
spreading all three legs simultaneously. This will
cause the upper collar to slide down the mast
towards the lower collar.
Once the three legs are spread at the desired width,
tighten the knob on the upper collar to lock them in
place. 4

Locate the thumb locks towards the end of each tripod
leg.
Unlock one thumb lock and extend the extendible leg out
as far as it will extend then lock the thumb lock so that the
extendible leg doesn’t retract.
Repeat this step for the other two legs.
At this point your tripod set up should look similar to this.
For extra stability, drape one sandbag over each leg.

Attach the Camera and Pan/Tilt Module
Pan/Tilt ModuleSONY Video Camera
Open the Sideline Power Carrying case and locate
the grey pan/tilt module and SONY video camera.
Remove both the pan tilt module and SONY video
camera from the case.
Locate the thumb screw that protrudes through the
tilt plate on the pan/tilt module.
Locate the corresponding threaded hole in the
bottom of the SONY video camera.
Mount the camera to the tilt plate by screwing the
thumb screw on the tilt plate into the threaded
hole in the bottom of the SONY video camera.
When mounted correctly, the camera lens will face
the same direction as the cord and switches on the
pan/tilt module.
6

Locate the screw sticking straight up out of the top of the tripod mast and
screw this into the threaded insert in the bottom of the pan/tilt module.
At this point your tripod/camera set up should look similar to this.
7

Locate the red ring and eye hook that are toward the top
of the mast.
On the master cable that is connected to the pan/tilt
remote, there is a carabiner attached to the end with all
the cable connections.
Attach this carabiner to the red eyehook on the red ring
toward the top of the mast.
This is a critical step because if this carabiner isn’t
attached to the red eyehook all of the audio video
connections to the camera and pan/tilt module will bend
and eventually break.
8

Plug the remote cable into
the remote socket on the
front of the pan/tilt module.
As you are looking at the
back of the camera, on the
right side, plug the USB
cable into the USB cord from
the SONY video camera.
Plug the micro USB power
cord into the micro USB
power port on the right side
of the SONY video camera.
As you are looking at the
back of the camera, on the
left side, open camera’s view
finder. This should power
the camera on.
Plug in the HDMI cord to the
HDMI port on the left side of
the camera
9

On the front of the pan/tilt module, make sure the switches are
set to 340° and M for manual control.
Pick up the remote control and make sure the green light in the
upper right corner labeled “on” is lit.
Press the button that corresponds to the left arrow to make
sure the pan feature works then press the button that
corresponds to the right arrow to bring the camera back to
center. Press the button that corresponds with the up arrow to
make sure the tilt feature works then press the button that
corresponds with the down arrow to bring the camera focus
back down.
10

Raising the Mast
There are six thumb lock collars running up the side of the
mast. Unlock the top thumb lock collar and extend the
smallest diameter of mast, raising the camera skyward.
Once this section of mast is extended, lock the thumb lock
collar so that this section of mast is locked in place and
unable to retract.
Secure the master cable to the base of this top section of
mast, just above the thumb lock collar using one of the
rubber bands that are included in the case.
Unlock the next thumb lock collar and extend the next
section of mast skyward, lock the thumb lock collar, and
secure the master cable to the base of this section of mast,
just above the thumb lock collar using one of the included
rubber bands.
Repeat this process until you have extended each section of
mast and the remote control for the pan/tilt module hangs
at about chest height.
11

Attaching the Monitor
In the case, locate the mast/monitor collar.
Loosen the thumb screw and swing the screw out and
away from the collar. The collar should hinge open
allowing you to clamp it around the mast.
Clamp the mast/monitor collar around the mast and reset the screw in place across the two halves of the
collar. Tighten the thumb screw to secure the collar to the mast.
Screw one arm of the monitor to mast
attachment into the threaded hole on
the mast/monitor collar.
Loosen the center knob on the joint
between the two arms to allow for
articulation of the arms.
12

Locate the Lilliput monitor and monitor battery brick
then remove them from the case.
On the center of the back of the Lilliput monitor you
will find a dock for the battery brick to slide into.
Starting at the top of the dock, slide the battery brick
down into the dock until it clicks into place.
In the bottom of the Lilliput monitor you will find a
threaded hole. Screw this threaded hole onto the open
arm of the monitor to mast attachment.
Adjust the monitor to your desired position and
tighten the center knob to lock the arms in place.
If desired, attach the sun shade to the top of the
Lilliput monitor.
13

Take the RCA to LCD cord and plug one end of the cord into the
only open port on the back of the Lilliput monitor.
Insert the other end of the RCA to LCD cord into the port on
the right side of the camera controller.
On the lower corner of the back of the Lilliput monitor you will find
an on off switch. Flip the switch to the on position to turn on
power from the battery.
On the front of the Lilliput monitor you will find a
power button. Press and release this button to turn on
the screen.
