Introduction:

The C-pan Arm is a unique camera guide system that mechanically moves your camera in a variety of

different paths: horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. The C-pan Arm is capable of curved camera paths as

well, and its total movement range is 3.5 times its folded length.

When making a non-curved movement, the arm functions as a traditional, straight track slider. Small

adjustments to the arm allow the camera to move in a curved path.

Thanks for purchasing a 9.Solutions product. With great passion, we design our products to be as

versatile as possible. We hope that our products contribute to your creative vision.

Sincerely,!

Setup:

A heavy duty tripod is required to mount the C-pan arm.

Insure that the max load capacity of the tripod is not

exceeded.

For best stability, spread the legs on the tripod as much as

it is possible and make sure all the leg and lock knobs are

securely tightened.

During transportation or when not in use, lock the two

arms together with the lock pin. Align arms and push pin

down into the bottom arm. The pin can be used on either

side to lock the arms.

When operating the C-pan arm, lift the lock pin until its

bottom tip is ﬂush with underside of arm.#

The lock pin can be removed completely if it is in the way.

If there is a need to use the C-pan for vertical movements,

try to position the tripod legs so that there is a free space

on the left side of the C-pan arm. This will allow the arm to

travel uninterrupted down the side of the tripod.

When mounting the C-pan on a tripod, loosen the fulcrum

plate and tilt it at a 90 degree angle to the underside of the

arm.

1. Place the C-pan on the tripod

2. Tighten the ﬁnger nut onto the tripod’s 3/8” thread.

3. Securely tighten the nut with included Allen wrench.

of 512

Setup:

Tilt fulcrum back until the lines on top of fulcrum and arm

base line up.

1 Attach the counter weight tube to the front of the C-pan.

2. Insert the lock pin

Place counter weights on tube. Place the weights as needed

(depending on camera weight) to reach a safe operating

balance. Weights can be set at different positions on the

tube to increase or decrease counter balance. It is important

to test the C-Pan arm at its maximum reach with the camera

mounted to set the right weight requirement.

Attach camera to the camera plate. The camera screw

has a 1/4” thread on one side and 3/8” on the other.

Use the camera plate tilt to position the camera lens in the

middle of the two arms

Check the levelling bubble to insure that the C-pan is set

level in all directions.

After every setup of the C-Pan arm: Double check that the arm always stays stable doing all its movements.

Do this by supporting the camera while guiding it through its initial movements into its maximum positions.

Straight and curved movements:

Straight movements

Set adjustment handle to mid position for straight

movement (indicated by a straight line)

Setting the adjustment handle at any position to the right

of center position creates an outward curved movement.

Any radius from 1,5m (59in) to straight can be achieved.

Setting the adjustment handle at any position to the left of

center position creates an inward curved movement.

Curved movements (outward).

Curved movements (inward)

of 712

Set curved movements:

When moving the C-pan arm in a straight or curved movement, do not

extend the arm all the way to where the two arms touch the hinges.

When operating the C-pan arm, do not jolt the arms back and forth or make it abruptly stop or start.

This could be damaging the gears and lead to increased backlash in the whole mechanism.

Subject

1. Align the camera lens and the

C-pan arms with the subject.

Subject

2. Move arm out to one side.

Subject

3. Loosen the adjustment handle

and slide it to the right. Slide it

until the camera lens lines up with

the subject again. Tighten

adjustment handle.

To maintain the most accurate curve, do not move

the arms all the way to the maximum position.

The curvature of the movement becomes parabolic

the further it gets to the maximum position.

of 812

Tilted and vertical movements:

Set the arm at any desired angle from horizontal to vertical.

Adjust camera tilt plate to accommodate the position of

the arm.

Always insure that the rosette teeth intermesh correctly

when tightening down the green handle. Do not let go of arm

before having insured that the fulcrum connection is

secured.

It is not recommended to make adjustments to the curvature

of the movement when the arm is in a vertical position. There

is a lot of pressure on the gears making readjustments

difﬁcult to do. But if needed, try to ease the weight on the

gears by separating the two arms simultaneously while

making the adjustment.

Do show caution if the above is to be done.

C-Pan arm can be set at any sloped angle between 0 and

90 degrees at intervals of 15 degrees. Do not set it in-

between where rosette teeth don't lock it securely in

position.

To easily tilt the C-pan arm into a vertical or sloped

position, move the arm out to the right side and (while

holding the arm ﬁrmly) loosen the green fulcrum handle

and tilt the arm to the desired position.

of 912

In and outs or Fly-over movements :

To make in and out shots or ﬂy-overs, simply loosen the

camera screw and rotate the camera 90 degrees (or the

desired angle) on the camera plate and then tighten screw

again.

The camera plate can then be titled to any angle,

depending on what kind of movement is desired.

In and out movement

Fly-over movement

Tilted and vertical movements:

Straight vertical movements.

Vertical curved movement

Sloped curved movement

of 10 12

Additional info:

To ease directional positioning, an optional rotating plate

can be placed between the C-pan and the tripod.

At the top of the right rear shaft, there is a 1/4-20”

attachment point to mount accessories such as external

monitors.

The camera screw features a 1/4”-20 thread one one end

and 3/8”-16 thread on the opposite end.

To replace or switch the camera screw around, remove

plastic plug from slot end and slide camera screw to the

large opening.

Attachment points for optional motor or drag control on

underside of gear box.

Always insure that the counter weight clamps are tight up

against the counter weights so that they can’t slide on

the tube. If they slide on the tube in vertical or in sloped

position, then they could interrupt a smooth movement.
