Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the handle, align the mounting base with the top cheese plate of your URSA Mini camera. Tighten the provided screws firmly to ensure the handle does not wobble during movement. While the handle is compatible with the entire URSA Mini camera family, it is designed specifically for these chassis and may not fit third-party rigs without modification.
For care and maintenance, avoid over-tightening the mounting screws to prevent stripping the threads on the camera body. Periodically check the mounting bolts for looseness after intense shooting days. Clean the surface with a dry, lint-free cloth; avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the finish of the metal.
