Intended use:
This product is intended for use by professional
and commercial photographers in a studio envi-
ronment with a high ceiling. The wheels are de-
signed to be used indoors on a floor that is
smooth, hard, flat and unobstructed. The Studio
Stands with internal counterweight are designed
to be used at all times with a load (Camera or
laptop shelf or both).
CAUTION: This product is not recommended for
use by hobbyists or in a household environment
with a low ceiling or carpeted floors. Carpeting or
pitted surfaces are not recommended because of
the increased rolling resistance which can cause
the stand to tip over. If the surface is not ideal,
the stand must be moved with CAUTION, very
slowly, using both hands one at the top and the
other at the bottom to steady the stand in order
to prevent the stand from tipping over. If the sur-
face is not ideal, lower the load to waist level be-
fore moving the stand. e also recommend the
use of a sandbag or weight attached at the base
when conditions are not ideal to prevent tipping
over. Ultimately it’s the users responsibility to
understand how the stand operates and to use
the stand within its specification limits, as intend-
ed to insure their own safety and the safety of
their equipment. It is also recommended to use
a short tether cable to secure the camera to the
stand in the event that the head, head plate, at-
tachment stud or camera adapter plate comes
loose or fails. Please read all documentation prior
to assembly.

Theory of Operation:
A studio stand is used by professional and commer-
cial photographers to capture images accurately
and repeatably.
It provides a rigid and stable platform for profes-
sional DSLR imaging cameras.
It allows the photographer to focus on the subject
matter and image composition instead of holding
the camera.
It provides a variety of creative options that are
unachievable when hand holding a camera.
A studio stand is a tool. It provides the user with
added technical process steps that brings out the
best in High Resolution Sensors.
A studio stand reduces vibration which increases
image sharpness and clarity. With a head it allows
the user to accurately zero or datum the camera
and then maintain camera to subject flatness of
field the vertical planes of travel. The flatness of
field is maintained as the user moves the stand
vertically.
Tip Over Hazard:
Caution must be used when moving the stand to
prevent tip over. Move the stand slowly and avoid
uneven surfaces as well as low and high level ob-
jects. Additional caution must be used when the
Side Kick Arm with load (Camera ) is used in the
upper area above the midpoint of the stand.
