How to use

Mount the FF3248 between two secure anchor points or incorporate it into your existing support system so that each female attachment engages the mating spigot or stud. Use the locking levers to secure the safety plugs, and verify the push-button release latch is fully engaged. Adjust the telescopic height to the required position; the automatic positioning mechanism will lock the mount in place. Suspend your light or modifier and rotate the balance-adjustment handle clockwise or counterclockwise until the fixture remains level and stable. Check load limits before use and ensure the total suspended weight does not exceed 12 kg.

Usage recommendations

Use the FF3248 only with compatible studio fittings and check the condition of safety plugs and locking levers before each session. Distribute weight evenly and avoid dynamic or impact loads. For heavier fixtures near the upper limit, confirm all connections and consider secondary safety supports to prevent accidental drops.
