VariZoom 11700 Bell Avenue Austin, TX 78759 888-826-3399 www.varizoom.com VZ-GT Camera Stabilizer Instruction Manual Please read the instruction manual thoroughly before operating your GT stabilizer for the first time to avoid injuring yourself or damaging the unit. The robust construction of the GT makes it an excellent long-term investment, but its precision design also means that you must exercise care in the storage, transport, and operation of the unit to ensure optimal long-term performance. You should also review the accompanying instructional DVD before attempting to shoot usable footage with the GT. The standard GT comes equipped with three subsystems: VEST ARM SLED w/ monitor and the following: padded case, DVD, hex wrench, BNC- RCA video cable, battery/charger, & docking post (for mounting sled on a C-stand or light stand).
