Instructions for VZ-LSP Professional Camera Support

The VZ-LSP camera support is a lightweight, portable and durable piece of equipment,
but like any precision-crafted instrument, it can be damaged through abuse. By
following some simple guidelines, the LSP will provide years of high-quality support:

-When storing the LSP, do not place heavy objects
on top of the unit.

-Do not use cameras heavier than 8 pounds on
the LSP.

-Store the LSP in a cool, dry place.

-Do not run or jump while using the LSP to support
your camera.

-Periodically wipe the LSP with a lint-free cloth to
ensure crisp, trouble-free adjustments.

The LSP is designed to be adjustable at various points for maximum comfort and
stability, so you may want spend some time discovering the optimal combination of
adjustments for your individual needs.

1. The LSP comes to you in a
compacted, folded position, and we
recommend you store the unit this
way.

2. Unfold the LSP by loosening the knob at
point A. Place the curved shoulder rest on
your shoulder and adjust the length of the abdominal
support bar by loosening the knob at point B. Once you
have the angle and length roughly adjusted, you can
fine-tune the other adjustment points for comfort and
stability.

3. You can adjust the position of the curved
shoulder rest by loosening the metal lever
at point C. Adjust the angle of the abdominal support
plate by loosening the metal lever at point D. Once you
have the LSP generally adjusted to your body, you
can mount the camera.

4. Mount the camera on the bracket at point E
by inserting the screw into the threaded mount on the

C

underside of your camera. You can adjust the elevation of
your camera by loosening the knob on your left-hand side,
and you can adjust the forward position by loosening the
knob on your right-hand side.

5. These are only general suggestions for adjusting your
LSP – you will probably want to experiment a bit to determine the best positioning of
each pivot point. The adjustments are fairly intuitive, so don’t worry about following
any set guidelines – set up the LSP so it feels stable and comfortable and be
sure to thoroughly tighten all knobs and levers.

USING THE LSP WITH A LENS
CONTROLLER

When using the LSP with a Varizoom lens
controller, you can clamp it onto the LSP
handle. With the VZ-PG-L controller (only) you
have the option of purchasing the Deluxe
Swivel Clamp (VZ-DC), which enables you to
remove the LSP handle and mate the VZ-PG-L
directly LSP at the serrated clutch (as seen on
right).
