3. Screw in 2x 1/4"-20 Phillips head screws tight into the dolly

4. Tighten 1/4"-20 bracket screws with included 3/16 hex wrench making sure your Rotator is flush with the dolly

   

5. While holding the Rotator in place flip the dolly over and rest on flat surface

   Connecting Rotator to Conductor SA2.6

   Plug the Rotator's motor cable into the M2 port on Conductor and plug your Passport/RailDolly 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.
