The rotator has been tested thoroughly for the load specified and believe it will outlast 100,000 panos (test sequence for 28mm eq. focal length: 12 columns x 3 rows + zenith and nadir). Overloading will reduce the lifetime of bearing and gear. Worn bearing will introduce more play in rotator and cause instability. Worn gear will significantly increase backlash and reduce accuracy and precision of rotator. Bearing and gear are classified as consumables and not covered by warranty. Customers are liable for the cost of labor and parts for the replacement.
The camera hot shoe gives a signal during exposure. We make use of this signal, as shutter release confirmation, to adjust the exposure delay timing automatically. This allows shortest delay for bracketed shots without risking premature moves.
Camera in electronic mode however does not give this signal and only work with Mechanical shutter mode – as with any remote cable release.
Connect PC Sync cable to AUX port and hot-shoe for it to work.
Supports up to 3.3lbs (1.5 kg) vertical loading, including panohead, and 1.0Nm turning torque (center of gravity is 8cm from pivot). DSLR’s with battery grips may exceed recommended weight load.
