Instruction Manual CS-Zodiac
2
Thank you for purchasing a Cambo product
The Cambo CS system complies with the “Arriflex
®
15mm Light Weight” standard.
This means the CS system is compatible with parts of other brands using the 15mm
light weight standard. The 15mm light weight standard characteristics are: 15mm iris
rods that are positioned 60mm apart and 85mm below the optical axis.
Due to the modular character of the Cambo rig system, the user is fully in charge of
customizing the rig to his or her personal preferences.
The Zodiac-rig can be used with any follow-focus and/or matte box.
The distance between the optical centre of the lens and the iris rods is adjustable,
making this rig applicable to different types of cameras.
Warnings
Before loosening a clamp knob, ensure that the loosened part of the rig is
supported.
Do not tighten the clamp without a rod inserted. This can deform and damage
the clamp.
Always check, after (re)assembly of the rig, if the clamps connecting the rods
are well tightened.
When you use the counterweight connected directly to the iris rod, always
check that the weight is screwed on tight before using the rig.
Allow adequate room around you when using the rig, especially when you use
an extended counterweight.
Do not lift the rig while holding only one handle. This could lead to excessive
force momentum on the handle joint, causing it to shift.
