The maximum vertical load refers to the maximum load that the equipment can temporarily withstand in the vertical direction (directly below). The design standard for the FT-02 is that it can withstand this load for 2 hours.
Selecting and setting up a light stand
・Please use a light stand with a maximum load of 3kg or more.
・Please do not use a light stand with short legs. When setting up, take into account the center of gravity and the direction of the legs so that the light stand does not tip over towards the subject, etc. When extending the column of the Free Tilter, do not tilt it more than 45 degrees from the vertical.
Safety Checks
During shooting, check regularly that the center column of the light stand is not tilted and that the locknuts are not loose.
