Once your kit is fully charged and your phone/tablet and camera are paired, it's time to assemble the tripod, camera, encoder, and cable for the first time.

 

SET UP THE TRIPOD & MOUNT THE CAMERA


Step 1: Loosen top and bottom screws


Step 2: Extend out tripod legs


Step 3: Level the tripod legs as needed


Step 4: Screw the (black) camera mount into the camera. If this has already been done, skip this step. 


Step 5: Insert the camera into the top mount of the tripod





Step 6: Close the clip to secure the camera


Step 7: Check to make sure the camera is on. If not, press the black button (solid white = camera on)


  



SECURE THE ENCODER TO THE TRIPOD & CONFIRM INTERNET CONNECTION


Step 1: Screw the (silver) encoder mount into the encoder. If this has already been done, skip this step. 


Step 2: Screw the other end of the (silver) encoder mount into the tripod


Step 3: Continue to screw on the encoder until it is secured to the tripod. Ensure the encoder screen is bottom-left. If the encoder screen doesn’t sit bottom-left when screwed onto the tripod, leave it slightly loose so it’s correctly oriented, or rest it safely on the ground, chair, or a nearby table.


Step 4: Connect your kit to the internet

  • For SIM or Wi-Fi connections, screw the antennas (2) into the encoder.

    • If your club uses Wi-Fi, it’s likely the network has already been configured. If so, the kit will automatically connect when within range.

    • If your club uses a SIM, it’s likely the SIM card has already been inserted into the encoder.

  • For an Ethernet connection, simply insert the Ethernet cable into the encoder. You do not need to screw on the antennas.

Step 5: Check to make sure the encoder is on.  If not, press the power button for 5 seconds. 


Step 6: Wait until the preview screen lights up. A network symbol should appear confirming successful internet connection 








CONNECT THE HDMI CABLE & EXTEND THE TRIPOD POLE


Step 1: Plug one end of the HDMI cable into the camera


Step 2: Begin extending the tripod pole upward


Step 3: Secure the HDMI cable to the top of the tripod pole using a cable twist (1)


Step 4: Continue extending the tripod pole to your preferred height


Step 5: Continue to secure the loose cable with the remaining cable twists (2) at the middle and bottom of the pole


Step 6: Plug the other end of the HDMI cable into the encoder


Step 7: Check the encoder screen to confirm live vision is showing (wait up to 5 secs)


Step 8: Rotate the tripod pole left or right to capture the centre of the action
