Stronghold Mount base & accessories installation?

Postby EOD-ONE » Fri Jan 17, 2020 3:35

Hey,

So I just received my Stronghold Space Ace mount system along with new GF 3’s. I followed the instructional video and got the main parts of the mounts assembled, but I have a bunch of additional hardware (different screws, bolts, locking mechanisms), and have no idea how to use them. The physical instructions that came with it explain nothing, and I am trying to figure out how to mount the accessories and GF bases to the mounts. I’ve gotten as far as attaching the black box, installing the wire protecting plug, and getting the bottom cover on the base of the GF.

Are there any other resources beyond the 2 videos which show the basic assembly of the long & short mounts? I’ve done as much as I could based off of the product photos on the site. Thank you.

- install the Black Box on the base plate using 4 X M3 screws + nuts + spring washers (spring washers come underneath);
- install the cable guide on the mounting plate;
- get the GF3 base and remove the 4 screws attaching the dust cover to the case; remove the dust cover;
- disconnect the X axis cable from the board attached to the case;
- remove the 4 screws attaching the gimbal to the top plate (remember the original order as 2 are screwing in the body and the other 2 come with nuts);
- install the gimbal under the mounting plate - put back the above 4 screws; it's very important to make sure those screws are well tightened;
- put the dust cover on top and the case underneath the gimbal/ mounting plate;
- screw in the 4 screws;
- connect the X axis cable and push it aoing the PCB so it won't get caught in the moving mechanism;
- install the cover at the bottom of the case by 4 screws (M4x8 bag);
- Connect the Black Box to the base;
- install the base plate on the UCM;
- install the grip.
