Fitting the load

The Quattro pedestal has the standard four-bolt mounting plate (23) which permits the use of various Vinten

camera mounts including pan and tilt heads, Quickfix and Mitchell adapters. To fit a pan and tilt head or an

adaptor it is necessary to extend the moving column.

Fit the pan and tilt head or adaptor as follows:

1. Ensure pedestal pressure does not exceed 3.5 bar (50 psi). Reduce as necessary, using the Schrader

valve cap (5).

2. Push down on the weight tray (1) against residual pressure. At the safety catches (2), push the rocker

switches to the unlocked position. Allow the column to extend under hand restraint.

3. Apply the on-shot clamp (20).

4. Fit the pan and tilt head or adaptor and secure with the appropriate bolts.

5. Release the on-shot clamp (20) and lower the moving column under hand restraint. Push down on the

weight tray (1) and push the safety catch rocker switches to the locked position.

6. With the pedestal locked in the fully depressed position, fit the camera and accessories to the pan and

tilt head, ensuring that all items such as pan bars, prompters, lenses etc, are fitted. Attaching these

items at a later stage may upset the pedestal balance.

WARNING! 1. Do NOT lean over the pedestal when releasing the safety catches.

An over pressurized pedestal may rise rapidly when the safety catches are

released, causing personal injury.

2. Always restrain the column by hand pressure on the weight tray when

the safety catches are released.

WARNING! A pressure retaining valve prevents pedestal pressure being reduced

below approximately 3.5 bar (50 psi), indicated by the yellow segment on

the pressure gauge (6).

CAUTION! Do NOT attempt to extend the column if the pressure (6) has dropped below 3.5 bar (50

psi), or the pedestal may be damaged.

WARNING! 1. Secure auxiliary equipment to the pedestal according to the manufac-

turer’s instructions.

2. Only fit suitable equipment to the four-bolt fixing.

WARNING! Lock the pedestal in the fully depressed position before installing the cam-

era, to provide a stable mounting surface.
