Mounting the Stabilized Remote Head
Step 1
4.2
Mechanical Home Position SRH-3
Use the junction box at the pan axis as orientation!
In Underslung the junction box points into the set, in Overslung in the opposite direction.
Step 2
4.3
ISO Damper
In order to be able to use the maximum stabilization performance of the SRH-3 &
SRH-360, the remote head may only be mounted on cranes, dollies, towers, cable
cams or other support suitable for use.
Mounting the stabilized remote head to a crane, dolly, support arm or any other device,
has to be done by experienced operator or grip personal.
Make sure that all safety regulations have been considered.
Since the SRH-3 has no slip ring and therefore the rotation of the pan axis is
limited to +/- 270 °, the mechanical zero / home position must already be
considered during the assembly of the SRH-3 on a crane or dolly.
The position will be displayed as: -270° / 0° / +270°
Underslung
0° / Home Position
Overslung
0° / Home Position
Camera Preparation / Remote Head Setup
Stabilization systems are limited by engine power, as well as their bandwidth or
frequency response. Stabilized remote heads have difficulty isolating certain shocks and
violent movements in the vertical axis. Even certain lateral movements can not always
be perfectly corrected.
Very fast movements required to correct the camera position may not be within system
capabilities.This can be seen when using longer lenses.
The use of Iso Dampers devices improves the application.
Mounting the Iso Dampers device between the remote head and the mounting point of
the head, will soak up the fast, unwanted movements, leaving the stabilization with
unwanted movements that are slower and within the bandwidth of the system. When a
stabilized remote head, such as the SRH-3 & SRH-360, is attached to a fast-moving
vehicle that travels over difficult terrain, extreme shocks and forces are applied to the
remote head.
