Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the kit, attach the ARRI-locating top handle to the corresponding mount on your cage and tighten the 3/8-16 screw using the built-in magnetic Allen wrench. For the side handle, slide the NATO clamp onto your cage's NATO rail and lock the lever. Always ensure the safety pins on the NATO clamp are engaged. For care, periodically check that all mounting screws are tight. If you are shooting in dusty or humid environments, wipe the metal surfaces with a dry microfiber cloth after use to prevent residue buildup on the mounting points.
