Let’s see the system during operation!
Attach the stabilizing arm to the properly adjusted vest (while wearing it). To do so, remove the
thumbscrew from the vest and slide the connector of the arm on the one on the vest; then put the
thumbscrew back and gently tighten it.
After this, attach the handle of the gimbal assembly to the connector of the stabilizing arm.
The tension of the spring is perfect when the resting position of the arm is exactly horizontal. Use the
adjustment screw on the arm to fine tune the arm for the weight of your camera.
(If with the highest tension setting your camera still falls below horizontal, then you overloaded the
rig; you have to reduce the load, otherwise the system might get damaged.)
Now the CINECTA MX-1 camera stabilizing system is fully operational!
During filming, gently guide (with your fingertips) the rig with one hand on the center post and the
other hand on the handle of the gimbal. The system operates properly if you keep a straight posture
during filming.
To achieve the desired professional recording quality, a lot of practice is required. Harness the
potential of CINECTA MX-1 camera stabilizing system! Good shooting!
Practical advice
Using the CINECTA MX-1 camera stabilizer system requires extreme caution. Before filming, always
check each component of the system; make sure that they are well adjusted and they function
properly!
Using the system requires appropriate clothing.
During shooting, the cameraman has to pay attention to multiple things, it is advisable to plan every
move and practice them, in more complex situations use assistants. Lateral and backward movement
can be very dangerous, especially around obstacles and stairs. Always be careful!
Always move with a straight posture, do not bend in any direction, and make sure to hold your
balance! On moving vehicle, be extremely careful; only use the device when it’s absolutely safe!
Always ask permission from the driver of the vehicle!
Moving parts of the camera stabilizer system can cause injury, never put your finger inside them! Be
extremely careful when working among children!
