WARNINGS:
- By using this product, you agree and
understand that BarberTech is NOT
responsible or liable for any damages which
may occur during use.
- It is NOT recommended for you to run at full
speed with the STEDDIEPOD. You could trip, fall
and hurt yourself, someone else, or damage your
gear.
- Do not use the STEDDIEPOD in Handheld
Camera Stabilizer mode unless it is perfectly
balanced. Also, don’t use it with the main shaft
extended – unless you need to, to balance it with a
heavier camera or with the counter balance
weights/ stabilizer bars folded up against the main
shaft.
- Take extra care in Low Flow mode so you do not
strike your camera, gear or the STEDDIEPOD
against the ground or any objects.
- Do not use the STEDDIEPOD in Camera Boom
mode with the main shaft fully extended if your
camera and gear's combined weight mounted on
the STEDDIEPOD exceeds 7lbs. Using it boomed
out horizontally with a heavy load could possibly
break it, so use extra care when in Camera Boom
mode!
- Do not use the STEDDIEPOD to lean on or to
assist you with walking.
- Do not let the main shaft segments drop when
extending. Slide them out by hand. Don't let
gravity win :)
- Make sure you do not put yourself or anyone else
in danger trying to get great shots. We do not take
any responsibilities for your actions with the
STEDDIEPOD.
- Make sure all knobs, screws, bolts, etc; are
securely in place before using your STEDDIEPOD.
Since the STEDDIEPOD can be used in
so many different ways, and people do
use it differently, there are some things
we want you to watch out for!
- Do not over tighten any screws, counter
weights or knobs on the STEDDIEPOD or its
head.
- If your STEDDIEPOD includes any
adjustment tools, use them carefully and do
not over tighten any screws tightened with
them.
- Take extra care in making sure your
equipment is attached properly to the
STEDDIEPOD at all times and especially when
it is in Camera Boom mode when combined
with the head's Dutch Tilt feature, with the
STEDDIEPOD being held horizontally out a
window, over a balcony, etc. You can get
great shots this way, but exercise extreme
caution while shooting.
- When making adjustments to your camera,
the STEDDIEPOD, the STEDDIEPOD head,
and/or are attaching or removing your
camera from the STEDDIEPOD, take extra
care to make sure your camera is supported
properly so as not to fall or get damaged.
- When going from one mode to another with
the STEDDIEPOD, take care in observing your
surroundings so as not to damage your
equipment, not to hit yourself or other
people, and to not hit any objects with your
equipment or your STEDDIEPOD.
- Do not use the STEDDIEPOD as a prying
bar, or use it to support any kind of weight
beyond camera & gear of 7lbs without using
extreme care.
