Morgan,

 

If Jerry doesn't chime in, I would shoot him an email. I think he mentioned something about this at the last workshop. They all blur together. Hope all is well with you.

 

Aloha,

jay

That should give you an idea of how it's supposed to be aligned. That's from the Steadicam Ultra2 Manual. ( http://www.steadicam.com/filmUltraManuals.html )

thanks tom and jay

i have the same pics that came with the manual

but no details on how they swap it around

or how to disassemble the arm if needed

i can see away to do it but i just want to make sure

how they at tiffen do it the right way

best regards

Mark- just pull the pin and align the parts as shown in the photo.

 

The mating parts have two possible positions.

 

The "in" position works better with the mounting armature and socket block on the side as it is with "back-mounted" vests.

I should mention two things: that pulling the pin just the same operation as flipping to goofy foot and back, and this "in" and "out" is only a feature of the G-70 arm (aka "the kickback link.")
