7.0 Preparing the Camera
CAUTION!
Ensure that Cam Pwr and STAB Pwr are switched OFF.!
!
Foreword:
The entire balancing procedure of the TRINITY system is based on SYMMETRY and
NEUTRAL BALANCE.
NOTICE!
Only a precisely executed camera preparation will enable you to get the TRINITY system in
perfect SYMMETRY and NEUTRAL BALANCE. Any inaccuracy will affect the performance of
the system.
The camera preparation must meet the following requirements:
• Compact length!
!
You should keep the COG (center of gravity) of the TRINITY head as low as possible and the
total length of the camera should be as compact as possible.!
!
NOTICE !
If the camera length is unnecessarily long, the COG of the TRINITY head could be quiet high,
which will force you to extend the Center Post to compensate for top weight. As the Center
Post lengthens the more extreme the degree of inertia will be and will reduce the agility of the
TRINITY.!
!
If an ALEXA Mini is being used, a Zoom Lens like the ARRI/FUJINON Alura 15.5-45/T2.8 will
keep the Camera setup at an optimum length.!
!
If the ARRI ALEXA or AMIRA is being used a Prime Lens will be required.!
!
Most box type cameras with a zoom lens are very close to the length of a full bodied camera
with a prime lens.!
