Fanotec Pole Series Using Pole Series 1 and the Extension UnitFor added support, visit: www.nodalninja.com/forum For videos, visit: www.youtube.com/nodalninja WarningCarbon fiber poles conduct electricity very well. Take extreme caution when using these poles around electrical wires. Never use them during electrical/lightning storms. Also be careful when using in windy situations. Do NOT mount a Fanotec pole onto a rigid tripod. This may cause damage to pole base and the tripod center column. Use the Fanotec tripod adapter when using a tripod.Recommended loading is 2kg (4.4lbs) for all poles at full vertical extension. Use shorter extension or guy wire to stabilize the pole for larger loading. Safety wire MUST be used for horizontal pole application and for tensile loading. The manufacturer and authorized dealers assume no liability for use of this equipment, users equipment, or personal injuries that may occur. Package Content of Pole Series 1
  Mount a DeviceAny device using 3/8” thread can be mounted to the pole. To gain optimal stability, mount the device to the smaller end of pole. Remove any unneeded parts or accessories. More weight leads to less stability. Use a hex key to install or remove the 3/8" stud depending on the requirement of your device.Use Fanotec dedicated accessories to ensure secure mounting of device.  Using the Pole on GroundKeep the protective cap installed when using the pole without other accessory attached at the base. It protects the base cap from dirt, scratches and dents. Its conical shape also helps rotating the pole about its center smoothly. Use your feet to brace the pole to keep it steady.Use a Fanotec tripod adapter to keep the pole steady and self-standing. When taking pole panoramas, use a Fanotec rotator with a foot plate or tripod adapter to control precise rotation interval.  Extending and ContractingTo extend, start with the top section. Turn the knob 90°-120° to Pull the above section upward. Lock it at the desired extension. Reserve the last 10cm (4") of each section for better stability. The latest poles have glossy paint at that position. Repeat the procedure to extend the other sections. Reverse the procedure to collapse the pole. Unlock the knob slowly so that the pole retracts slowly. Tighten the knob slightly if unit retracts too rapidly. Do not place fingers above the knob. Rapid collapsing of pole may cause damage to the connectors and the mounted device, and may pinch fingers. Extending the Reach of Pole Series 1Fanotec poles are modular in design.
