Assembling the pedestal

Skid
(Fig 2)
Turn the skid upside-down, depress the leg locking plungers (13.1) and swing each folding leg
(13) out until the plungers lock the legs in the fully open position.
Set the skid on the ground on its wheels and apply the wheel brakes (9).
Column
Install the column on the skid as follows:
Fully slacken the skid clamp (11).
Ensure the control valve (2) is set to the WORK position.
Release the Velcro retaining strap (6).
Hold the telescopic column upright with the steering ring (20) uppermost and swing the
three struts (17) up almost to horizontal.
Lift the column assembly by the steering ring and lower it vertically into the skid centre
casting, ensuring bottom clamp knob (18) is aligned with skid handle. Engage the struts
(17) on the foot supports (7).
Secure each strut to the foot support with the rubber strap. Tighten the skid clamp (11),
using moderate hand pressure only.
Secure the Velcro retaining strap (6) clear of the skid wheels.

Pressurizing the pedestal

The Vision Ped Plus pedestal may be pressurized using the built-in pump, by using the Vinten
Portable Pump or from an external pressure source.
Ascertain the payload to be fitted to the pedestal (payload = pan and tilt head, camera, lens and
all ancillary equipment). Referring to the graph (Fig 3), mark the payload on the horizontal axis
then strike a vertical line from the load figure to the balance line. At the intersecting point strike
a horizontal line to the vertical axis and read off the required gas pressure.
