Congratulations on Your New Hi-Pod GO!
Now you can begin to elevate your game.
~
GO - The HI-POD GO is a quick, to the point aerial camera system that
allows for maximum flexibility and mobility on the field. Turn, point,
shoot, walk, GO as you like.
These units arrive mostly assembled, meaning that it takes even less
time to get started than ever before. Even so, understanding the
product thoroughly is important for its longevity, so please take some
time to review the materials inside this manual. It will save you much
more time down the road.
*Note: Within 2 weeks of delivery, product must be checked and
confirmed by the client to have arrived in good order and in its entirety.
After that time, clients will be responsible for any and all lost parts
(which are not covered under the warranty).

3 IMPORTANT THINGS:
•ALWAYS use the Strain Relief Plate
for your cables.
• Manage your system with care during
setup, as this unit does not have legs to
support it. You can use the pole and camera
bags to create a staging area.
• Take note of the 'Text on Screen'
instructions to display record status
...and other camera settings - (page 26)

Pole Bag and Camera Bag
The Hi-Pod GO includes two separate protective bags: the Pole Bag, and
Camera Bag. The tower ships in two separate boxes: pole bag with pole
in the first box, and the camera bag (with all other electronics and
raingear) in the second box.
When traveling, you can put the smaller camera bag into the larger
'hump' of the pole bag, and zip to close. This makes it really easy to
carry everything together.

There is also a shoulder strap on the back of the larger pole bag (which
fits everything inside), allowing you to free up your hands or just more
easily carry the product from place to place.

Getting Started: Take The Main Structure Out of Bag
The Hi-Pod GO comes mostly pre-
assembled. You will see cables
attached to the unit when you
open the bag (but it cleans up fast
and makes life much easier).
This allows for you to quickly
attach the main electronics of the
camera and lcd with minimal
effort. The amount to which you
want to assemble and dis-
assemble is up to the user, but
technically there would be no
reason to remove the cables from
the unit at any time.
You will find velcro strips at various
points up and down the tower to
grip and bind the cables during use
(for better organization), and also
for safer packing when you're done
filming.

Near the top of the unit, you will find the
head assembly folded down (basically in
half), secured by a large black knob.
Open the knob to allow for the head to
fully extend. Guide the cables as needed
during the extension so nothing gets
caught.
Once the head assembly is extended
your cables will immediately start to
clean up. Turn the black knob once in
the position your prefer. You can angle
this arm at pretty much any angle of
attack you wish.
NOTE: See the very top plate (quick
release), and also the plate directly
under it (strain relief plate). Those will
be described in the next steps.

Camera Connection with Quick Release Plate
The camera now ships with the male end of the quick release plate pre-
attached. To connect to the head assembly, pull back the double-lever
on the quick release plate (shown in second image below) to allow the
camera to lock in. It will snap into place. If the lever (with both arms) is
not fully pulled back it will not allow the camera to connect. Reverse
the process by pulling back to open the lever when packing up.
