Tightening ARRI Steadicam® bottom stage lever and checking wear pads.
What the thread found
- The bottom stage lever on ARRI Steadicam® rigs can be tightened by unscrewing all screws and tightening in the same manner as a regular ARRI lever.
- Two small pads between the lever components may wear out or become lost over time.
- If the pads are missing, a temporary spacer such as a small piece of gaffer tape can be inserted between the lever components to restore proper tension and function.
Depends on
- Procedure applies to ARRI Steadicam® equipment.
- Temporary gaffer tape solution is a field fix; permanent replacement pads may be required for long-term use.
