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.
