Instruction Manual CS-Zodiac

CS-Zodiac rig adjustments
Its advisable to use a tripod for the assembly of
the CS-Zodiac rig.
Its also advisable to use quick-release plates for
the connection between the rig and camera and
between rig and tripod. This ensures a quick
decoupling of both rig and camera.
The “15mm Arriflex LW” standard, indicates a
distance of 85mm between the optical axis and the
axis of the rods. Due to the variation in camera
bodies and quick-release plates the distance
between the camera and rods is adjustable.
Use a hex-key 4mm to loosen the socket bolt, by
turning it counter clockwise. Set the distance
between camera and rods to the appropriate
value, fasten the CS-M1 mount by turning the hex-
key clockwise (do not over tighten the bolt).
!!!!
WARNING: Do not over-tighten the screws.
!!!!
WARNING: Only tighten a screw or knob when both rods are inserted in the clamping part.
The CS-150 offset clamp uses two hex-screws to
clamp the front iris rods. To reposition/replace the
front iris rods please use a hex-key 2,5mm to
loosen or tighten the screws.
Before tightening the screws, please ensure that
both iris rods are fully inserted.
When both rods are inserted, please slightly
tighten the first screw, then slightly tighten the
second screw. Repeat this alternately until both
screws are fully tighten.
