SAFETY

1.1 This booklet contains important safety and operating instructions.
Please read these fully before using the PAG Orbitor and any of its
component parts.

ATTENTION:

THE TELESCOPIC SUSPENSION ROD CONTAINS POWERFUL SPRINGS AND
IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. OPERATE ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Keep the telescopic suspension rod out of the reach of children.

Never release the restraining cord unless the rod is in position for
use. Do not release the restraining cord with the rod held loose in
the hands.

Only collapse the suspension rod when it is in position on the PAG
Orbitor. Loop the red restraining cord around the lug on the side of
the rod before removing the Orbitor.

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION

2.1 Parts List:

Remove the packaging and check that all the component parts have
been supplied:

* Camcorder support assembly.
* Shoulder support assembly.
* Telescopic suspension rod.
* Belt assembly.

2.2 System Philosophy:

To obtain the best result the PAG Orbitor Camcorder Support System
has to be correctly assembled and adjusted to suit the weight and
balance of the camcorder, and the individual user. When this has been
achieved the camera will feel weightless and control of its 3-axis
movement will be effortless. It will enable hours of use without
fatigue and provide the most mobile, yet stable, shooting platform
available from this type of device.
