Pedolly Mount for the Stinger II Jib Arm

The Pedolly with its column removed and a Center Post Insert attached.

Before mounting the Stinger Jib Arm on the Center Post Insert, all legs MUST be in the 45 degree configuration. This will provide maximum stability for the base.

Use the special Castle Ring Wrench to tighten the Castle Ring.

Overslung to Underslung Mode

© 2004 No part of this manual may be reproduced or electronically transmitted withoutthe written permission of Chapman/Leonard Studio Equipment, Inc. Revision 8 - 7/2008


To switch the Glider from Overslung mode to Underslung mode, begin by removing the Rubber Cover (viewed from below).

Pull down on the Rubber Cover to remove it from the Gliding Head.

Next remove the Locking Ring.




Separate the Mitchell Mount Head from the Glider Mechanism.

The Glider Mechanism shown with the Mitchell Mount Head removed.

Position the Mitchell Mount Head below the Glider Mechanism.



Raise the Mitchell Mount Head until its threads become visible above the Glider Mechanism.

Attach the Locking Ring to the Mitchell Mount Head.

Replace the Rubber Cover on the Glider Mechanism. The Glider is now ready to use.

Revision 8 - 7/2008


Adding/Removing the Glide Head



Whenever extensions are added/removed from the Stinger Jib Arm, the 2 ft. Glider should be removed first. Begin by removing the Indexing Quick Release Pin.

Remove the retaining screw from the 2 ft. Glider while supporting the Glider to prevent it from falling to the ground.

The 2 ft. Glider can now be pulled from the arm.

Adding/Removing Arm Extensions

© 2004 No part of this manual may be reproduced or electronically transmitted withoutthe written permission of Chapman/Leonard Studio Equipment, Inc. Revision 8 - 7/2008


At this point, extensions of the Arm may be safely added or removed.

The Weight Tray Knob (pictured below) for the Weight Tray Rod may be stored on the Arm (pictured at left) when weights are being added or removed.

Before attempting to add or remove an arm extension, remove all weights from the Tray.

Warning! Before adding or removing any section of the Stinger Jib Arm, the front Glider Section MUST first be removed to avoid damaging the arm.



Revision 8 - 7/2008

The Splice Retainer Bar with Cam Lock ensures a tight fit between sections of the arm. This is essential to maintaining the rigidity and stability of the Stinger Jib Arm while in operation.

When attaching an arm section, loosen the Socket Head Cap Screws enough to lift the Splice Retainer Bar over the Screw Cam Lock.

Push down on the Splice Retainer Bar until it is flush against the arm section. The Screw Cam Lock may have to be turned slightly to allow the Splice Retainer Bar to fit properly against the arm.

Tighten the Socket Head Cap Screws, then loosen both Socket Head Cap Screws one full turn. This is enough to allow the fit between the arm sections to be adjusted.




Revision 8 - 7/2008

Next, tighten the Screw Cam Lock to draw the arm sections together. Less than half a turn of the Screw Cam Lock is necessary.

As shown here, the visible gap between the arm sections has been eliminated.

The final step is to tighten both Socket Head Cap Screws. Excessive torque is not required.

Disassembling the Stinger Jib Arm sections is simply the reverse of the above procedure.

Warning! Before adding or removing any section of the Stinger Jib Arm, the front Glider Section MUST first be removed to avoid damaging the arm.
