Assembly
Refer to Diagram A. Remove the end cap of the STA-01-98 circular arm tube by turning it counter clockwise.
Locate and Loosen the hex head screws with supplied hex key, in the rectangular arm. Insert the circular arm
tube into the hole of the rectangular arm and tighten the hex head screw clockwise with supplied hex key. Re-
place the end cap of the STA-01-98 circular arm tube by turning it clockwise. The finished assembly will look
like Diagram B.
The STA-01-98 Lowering Plate can be mounted onto the camera stands horizontal arm in the following posi-
tions: 0 degrees pointing up, 60 degrees pointing forward, 120 degrees pointing forward and downward, 180
degrees pointing down, 240 degrees pointing backward and downward, 00 degrees pointing backward and
upward. The circular tube can be mounted on either side of the clamp plate pointing toward the center column
or away from the center column.
The Camera Head Mount Plate can be re-positioned using the hand lever. It can be re-positioned anywhere
from 0-60 degrees around the circular arm.
*CAUTION:
When using the STA-01-98 Lowering Plate the load capacity [camera, etc.] must be reduced.
The nominal load capacity must be reduced by using the following formula:
(STA supplied published stand load capacity / ( 00mm + Length of originally supplied STA Horizontal Arm/Bar
in mm )/ (Length of originally supplied STA Horizontal Arm/Bar in mm)) = new full extension load capacity
( STA-C01-60= 10kg ) / ( 00mm+700mm / 700mm ) = 7 Kg / 15.4 lbs

Rough Handling:
Each package leaves our facility in perfect
condition. The column boxes are supplied us-
ing extra thick corrugated cardboard, some
packages include engineered plastic walls,
and banded protection corners. The Arm/Bar
is supplied packed in foam to protect against
reasonable impacts. If the box is handled
roughly it will show signs of transit damage. If
you were supplied a product that is not new or
it looks used contact your dealer for ex-
change.
If the damage is only cosmetic and does not
compromise the safe operation of the product,
please contact us by email with images of the
part that is affected. We will make arrange-
ments to provide you with a replacement part.

STA 01-398 Lowering Plate
Intended use:
This product is intended for use by profes-
sional and commercial photographers in a
studio environment with a high ceiling. The
wheels are designed to be used indoors on a
floor that is smooth, hard, flat and unobstruct-
ed. The Studio Stands with internal counter-
weight are designed to be used at all times
with a load (Camera or laptop shelf or
both). CAUTION: This product is not recom-
mended for use by hobbyists or in a house-
hold environment with a low ceiling or car-
peted 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 surface is not ideal, lower the load to
waist level before moving the stand. We 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 with-
in its specification limits, as intended to insure
their own safety and the safety of their equip-
ment. 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,
attachment stud or camera adapter plate
comes loose or fails. Some assembly is re-
quired, we recommend using an assistant
during the initial product assembly. lease
read all documentation prior to assembly.

1 After assembly of the STA-01-98 Lowering
Plate. ADD additional sand-bags or weights,
one placed onto each of the three feet of the
base. Together with your Assistant, raise the
Vertical carriage to the highest travel point
and lock the brake. With both hands holding
the STA-01-98 Lowering Plate, move the Hori-
zontal Arm / Bar to the most extended posi-
tion. Using minimal force with one hand pull
down on the camera plate to simulate the
camera load. With the other hand hold the
Horizontal Arm/Bar a short distance from the
camera plate. This exercise will allow you to
gauge the loading effect on Horizontal Arm/
Bar as well as the stability of the stand. Under
these conditions use extreme caution when
working with the stand and moving the
stand. Prior to moving the stand move/retract
the load toward the Horizontal Bearing Car-
riage bearing and lower the Horizontal Arm/
Bar as low to the ground as possible. A lower
center of gravity is more stable when moving
the stand in the studio. Also use two
hands, when moving the stand in the studio,
this will allow you to prevent a tip over should
it start to occur. Always remember to clear the
area of people, animals and sensitive equip-
ment prior to moving the stand. Always re-
member to train staff and assistants on proper
use and handling procedures prior to them us-
ing the stand.

STA 01-398 Lowering Plate
INSTALLATION & USE PROCEDURE:
CAUTION:
When using STA-01-98 Lowering Plate, the load ca-
pacity [camera, etc] must be reduced.
When subjected to a load the horizontal arm acts as a
cantilever which carries the mass of the load from the
camera plate, as a force into the Horizontal Carriage
Bearing. As the Horizontal Arm/Bar is moved further
away from the Horizontal Carriage Bearing a force am-
plifying effect occurs. This can have an adverse affect
on the Horizontal Arm/Bar, the Horizontal Bearing
Carriage as well as the overall stability of the stand.
The nominal load capacity must be reduced by using
the following formula:
When using the STA-01-98 Lowering Plate the load
capacity [camera, etc.] must be reduced.
The nominal load capacity must be reduced by using
the following formula:
(STA supplied published stand load capacity /
( 00mm + Length of originally supplied STA Horizon-
tal Arm/Bar in mm )/ (Length of originally supplied
STA Horizontal Arm/Bar in mm)) = new full extension
load capacity
( STA-C01-60= 10kg ) / ( 00mm+700mm / 700mm ) = 7
Kg / 15.4 lbs

STA 01-398 Lowering Plate
Tip Over Hazard:
Caution must be used
As the Camera plate and Horizontal Arm/Bar is
moved further away from the Horizontal Car-
riage Bearing a force amplifying effect occurs.
This can have an adverse effect on the overall
stability of the stand which can also cause a
tip over hazard. As the Horizontal Arm/Bar is
moved higher towards the top of the Vertical
column. This can have an adverse effect on
the overall stability of the stand which can al-
so cause a tip over hazard. Use of three addi-
tional sand-bags or weights, one placed onto
each of the three feet of the base of the stand
are recommended to prevent tip over.
