First steps with RODEON modular
Introduction and intended purpose
Many thanks for deciding for the CLAUSS RODEON modular. We are sure that you
will have much pleasure with this purchase if you first read through these instructions
and follow them afterwards.
The RODEON modular is an automatic pan-and-tilt-head for segmented panoramic
photography, wide-angle shots, 360° and multirow sphere panoramic photography.
The specified working orientation is in principle standing (under special conditions a
hanging operation is allowed – see below) on a photographic or extra high tripod.
A lying operation is not permissible.
For such special applications or for especially heavy or large cameras, special designs
are available on request.
The RODEON modular is not designed for working under hard conditions like bad
weather (rain, storm...) or continuous run in the open air.
. Safety notes:
During the operation there are mass-shiftings and acceleration-strengths neces-
sitated by the function. It is to be guaranteed therefore, that the installation on a
sufficiently stable tripod is secure against overturn. Guarantee that no possible
collision of the attached camera with the device itself or in interaction with
other objects, for example cables or lamps, occures!
Slight tripods are generally unsuitable.
The lock of the accumulator is only designated for the standing working orienta-
tion. For the hanging operation the accumulator must be secured!
Always remove the accumulator first before taking off the device from the tri-
pod!
The accumulator is only allowed to be charged with the original accessories,
plug-in power supply unit or optional vehicle power supply adapter under su-
pervision.
For damages, also secondary damages, which are caused by non-observance of
these tips at our product, other objects or persons, the manufacturer does not
take over any liability.
