Seng Up SAM
Before SAM can be used for a parcular applicaon (e.g., astrophotography)
it needs to be mounted on a tripod, have the camera gear aached, and then
be congured using the Star Adventurer mini Console. The following secons
explain how to do these things for regular-exposure me-lapse photography,
long-exposure me-lapse photography and astrophotography.
Seng Up SAM for Regular-Exposure Time-Lapse Photography
Aaching SAM To Your Tripod
Set up your tripod according to the direcons it came with. Ensure it is stable
and set at the height you wish to use it.
For regular-exposure me-lapse photography SAM is mounted directly to a
level tripod via the 3/8 inch tripod mounng bolt. Your tripod may have a ball
head or pan-lt head aached. We recommend you remove this and aach
SAM directly to the tripod using the 3/8 inch threaded base socket that is on
the side opposite the saddle (see top photo on this page).
Mounng Your Camera Gear
Now you can aach your camera gear (see boom photo). Note that an
oponal ball mount is shown. This is a highly recommended opon to give you
far more creave control when composing your shots.
Once SAM is aached to your tripod, and your camera gear is aached to SAM,
you are ready to start making videos with the Star Adventurer mini Console.
The last step is to aach SAM to your camera using the SNAP cable. One end
plugs into the port for a wired shuer remote on your camera and the other
into the SNAP port on SAM.
