You got your Rotator and you're looking to install it onto your Dana Dolly! Setup is simple.

Check that you have received all of the following components:

1. eMotimo Rotator
2. Bracket with 2x 1/4"-20 screws
3. 3/16" Hex Wrench
4. Dana Dolly Installation Screws

Dana Dolly Mounting

1. Take the included bracket with 1/4-20 screws, attach it above the big eMotimo logo on the side nearest the camera mounting plate.  Do not fully tighten screws, this will come later.
2. Lay your Dana Dolly on a flat surface on top of the Rotator aligning the bottom center screw hole in the dolly with the threaded hole on the steel bracket of the Rotator
3. Lift the rotator up with one hand and screw 1x Dana Dolly Installation Screws into the bracket threads
4. Lift the other end of the rotator and screw in the remaining two screws

5. Flip your dolly over and tighten the two bracket bolts with included 3/16 hex wrench ensuring the Rotator is flush with the dolly

   

   Connecting Rotator to Conductor SA2.6

   Plug the Rotator's motor cable into the M2 port on Conductor and plug your Dana Dolly Integration motor cable into the M1 Port on Conductor.

   When plugged into the M2 Port on Conductor, you control the rotator by swiping right/left on the PS5 controller touchpad.

   Camera Plate/Mounting

   Rotation End Stops

   The Rotator comes with 2x #1 Phillips head screws which act as rotation hard stops to prevent cables getting wrapped around. The screws are preinstalled to allow for 270° of motion, but you can move them to a different threaded hole on the camera mounting plate every 30° or remove them entirely.

   Camera/Tripod Head Mounting

   When mounting a camera or tripod head to the 3/8"-16 stud on the mounting plate, drive the Rotator clockwise until it hits a stop and then tighten your camera or tripod head down. This will prevent putting unnecessary strain on the drivetrain

   

   For dismounting a camera or tripod head from the 3/8"-16 stud, drive the Rotator counterclockwise until it hits a stop and then remove your camera or tripod head.
