Tyson King Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Hiya folks, I have recently acquired a master series kit at work and have noticed the bottom section of the arm kind of snaps/clunks into its final positions at the top and bottom of the boom. I am new to a rig of it's age/power so wanted to confirm if this is normal for it, and as long as the arm is tuned properly the top/bottom should be avoidable? I've attached a video, note the tune isn't perfect I just set up quickly to demonstrate. I appreciate any knowledge the community can offer, -Tyson King IMG_2650.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jerry Holway Posted September 27, 2020 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Typically this is a problem of the operator's posture. When you put any arm over your shoulder, the section closest to the body will pop up as you lean back. Same thing happens if you lean back when operating... and the Master arm is more sensitive to this (a design trade off in making it very isoelastic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson King Posted September 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Thanks for the reply Jerry, I see what you mean however I just did some playing around and no matter which way I leaned it snapped up and down at the ends of the boom. My main concern is that there is something wrong with the arm itself. Perhaps I just need to keep working at it to find the solution. But as far as I can tell, no matter what I do it holds at the ends. The only way I’ve found to work around it is to have the upper section lead. That way I avoid the end points on the bottom section. I’m fairly green so this all could be simply a mistake I am making. I have to confirm the rigs function to my employer and just want to make sure its my folly and not a fault in the arm.
