2. Regulating the Iso Dampener is made by adjusting the pair of valves on each of
the 4 shocks. In general, the factory setting is between level 6 - 7 for
- temperature range between 0°c and +30°c (-4 to +86° Fahrenheit)
- load 40-60 kg (88-132lbs)
If either temperature or load differ from those figures it is recommended to adjust the
pressure accordingly.
Always adjust each pair of knobs evenly and set all 8 valves to the same
setting!!!!
Note: the valves should never be closed to maximum pressure as it can
damage the dampeners.
Turn valves clockwise to increase and anti-clockwise to decrease pressure!!
3. To check the pressure level of the Iso Dampener, first set the top dampeners so
that the mounted head and camera can swing smoothly to and fro.
When the dampening is correctly set it should be possible to manually push the head
to the maximum tilt angle on one side and when let go the head should swing
smoothly down and over the straight, vertical hanging position, then fall smoothly into
the vertical hanging position within 1 to 2 seconds.
The same adjustment should be made on the lower dampeners so that the pressure
level is equal at each axis.
