Rigged for ALT/AZ lift


Starting up out of the case


Head-on view of harness rigging


Side view of Alt/AZ rigging setup


Gravity works! The forks drop and the lines slide


Friction wins about here  - The harness stops sliding


Grasp the handles like so...


Lift a little - Twist a little  -  help the harness slide


Until the forks are vertical.    Bring on the tripod!
