Phoenix A10 Setup
Camera Size & Weight Limitations
Phoenix A10 is designed to be used with DSLR type cameras up to Canon 5D in size but will
work with smaller cameras like Sony NEX5,6,7 or similar.
Total camera weight with lens should be no less than 1.2lb (.68kg) or no greater than 4.75lb
(2.1kg) for best performance of Phoenix A10.
Physical size of camera should be limited to 6.5” wide, 5.25” tall, 8”
long for best performance. These dimensions can be exceeded
slightly (10% perhaps) but a decreased level of performance may
be expected. Keep in mind that most zoom lenses change length
considerably as the focal length gets longer. Phoenix A10 works
well at focal lengths
as long as 200mm.
Handheld Configuration Assembly
One of the most common configurations for Phoenix A10 is the
handheld configuration. Handheld allows Phoenix A10 to be
used in ‘run & gun’ type scenarios as well as used for aerial
work from airplane or helicopter. Due to A10 being compatible
with industry standard 15mm rod gear, it is easily assembled
into handheld configuration.
1) First, attach the 15mm rod mount to the top of the pan axle
flange on A10. Use M4x10 allen screws. Figure 4.
2) Next, slide the short 15mm rods through the rod mount.
Leave about 30mm of rods exposed on the front side.
