      • lift the top part of the phone with an object of your choice, in order to get your lens pointing at you.
      • Put some weight on the Centriphone to make sure it stays in place while adjusting.
      • Lift the cables up until they all are straight.
      • once the wire are straight hold them together and make a knot at approximately 150cm from the ground.

      • The remaining length of wires can be adjusted for your shot framing to be wider/narrower. (Recommended overall length from hand to device is approximately 220cm).
      • Attach the extremity of the wires to your handle if you have one.
