Part Specifications
Lower Rail Assembly
Adjustment distances from the lower rotator center point to the upper vertical arm mounting
point, minimum adjustment distance 53mm (2 1/4”), maximum distance ?

mm (?

”).
The lower horizontal rail is used to slide the upper vertical assembly (when attached) into 1
of 2 needed entrance pupil positions depending on the camera and lens being used. The rail
has a laser engraved scale marked in millimeters (1 mm intervals). The grooves of the scale
arefilledwithwaterresistantpainttoincreaseclarity.
The lower rail assembly incorporates the “lower rotator assembly”. The lower rotator assembly
allows for 360 degree horizontal rotation. The rotator base is engraved with demarcations
in 2.5 degree intervals, with longer tic marks at 5 and 10 degree intervals. Numerical values
every 20 degrees with diamond tic marks every 10 degrees make for great visual reference
when rotating or panning the camera/lens across the horizontal plane. Mounting a camera/
lens in horizontal mode allows for very precise rotation to shoot across the horizon line.
Using in conjunction with the upper rotator allows for very precise rotation for single row and
mulitrow spherical panoramas.
