Use cases
- Choose the tool based on the required result, environment, and manufacturer limits.
Setup
- Inspect before use, secure the setup, and keep paths clear.
Alternatives
- Use a purpose-built alternative selected by the department lead.
Safety notes
- Follow manufacturer instructions and local workplace rules.
In practice
The nesting base, riser, grip head, and arm position small modifiers and accessories. The load should tighten the grip head rather than loosen it, the largest leg should face the load, and a sandbag does not make an unsafe overhead rig acceptable.
