The travel case is customized to fit each component of your Event Kit snugly & securely.

HALO Body

Your HALO “body” will be at the top. Remove HALO and set the body aside in a safe location.

The riser will be at the bottom of the case.

Assemble the HALO

Pull lock to release legs

Pull up on the ring marked in green.

Rotate legs into position

Tilt or pull on the legs to rotate them into place. Each leg will automatically stop when it reaches the proper position.

Release lock to secure legs

The lock has grooves that should sit flush with the base.

Place riser in base

Secure with the bottom knob.

Raise stand and tighten knobs

We recommend placing your HALO about 5 feet (1.5 meters) off the ground.

Attach clamp to stand

The larger side of the clamp also has a bigger handle. This large side attaches to the top of the stand. Position the smaller side of the clamp so that the round receptacle is horizontal and not vertical.

Attach HALO to clamp

Insert the back pin into the round receptacle and tighten the smaller clamp handle until secure. This handle can be loosened slightly in order to adjust HALO’s angle.

Insert iPad into faceplate

Pull the faceplate off HALO using the side tabs toward the top. Secure the iPad into place using the interior swivel tabs.

Plug iPad in and replace faceplate

Hold the bottom of the iPad near the base of the HALO body to avoid straining the charging cable. Press the faceplate back onto the HALO body magnets.

Plug in and turn on

The power cord is inserted into the bottom of the back of the HALO body. The power switch can be found next to the plug.

Open app and launch

Adjust lighting and exposure

HALO’s brightness can be adjusted with the side knob. The app’s exposure and white balance can be adjusted from the app’s “Mission Control” page. Adjust both the brightness and the camera settings together for optimal results.

Repacking the HALO

HALO’s case has custom foam inserts to keep everything secure while in transit, so repacking your case must happen in a specific order.

Remove the top foam inserts that are designed to cradle the HALO.

Collapse and insert the stand. There is a pocket cut out to accommodate the knobs on the stand.

Collapse and insert the legs. You may need to reorient the legs by flipping them and/or rotating them in order for them to fit properly.

Replace the top foam inserts, and then place your HALO on top. There is a hole cut out to accommodate the silver pin on the back of your HALO.

Purchase Fasteners

Because we don’t know what type of surface you will be mounting your Install Kit to, fasteners are not included.

The fasteners recommended below can easily be found at most local hardware stores.

Drywall Or Plaster Fasteners

Always find and use a stud when mounting to drywall or plaster.

Half of your Wall Mount should be attached to a stud and the other half can be attached using anchors.

A standard drill will be sufficient to install both your screws and anchors.

If you are not familiar with installing objects to your surface type, we encourage you to research your wall material for tips to make the job easier. Follow all instructions that come with your fasteners during installation.

	Drywall	Plaster
Wood Studs	#10 wood screws 1 1/4" long (or longer)	#10 wood screws 2" long (or longer)
Metal Studs	#10 toggle bolts 1 1/4" long Look for ones that mention compatibility with metal studs	#10 togle bolts 2" long Look for ones that mention compatibility with metal studs
Anchors	#10 togle bolts 1 1/4" long (or longer) Rated for 50+ lbs	#10 togle bolts 2" long (or longer) Rated for 50+ lbs

Masonry Fasteners

Any 3/16” x 1 ¼” masonry anchor will be rated for hundreds of pounds, although it doesn’t hurt to double check the packaging for confirmation. A hammer drill is recommended for ease of installation.

If you are not familiar with installing objects to masonry, we encourage you to research tips to make the job easier. Follow all instructions that come with your fasteners during installation.

Other Fasteners

If you are mounting to something other than drywall, plaster, or masonry, research your surface type to help you source compatible fasteners.

If the fasteners come with weight ratings, be sure to choose ones that are rated for 50+lbs.

Install Your HALO

Mark HALO location

Use the Wall Mount plate to mark the position of your fasteners on the wall. We recommend mounting your HALO about 5 feet (1.5 meters) high.

Secure wall mount

Follow the instructions that come with your fasteners in order to properly hang the Wall Mount to your wall. Make sure the Wall Mount is fully tightened and secure.

Insert power cord

The cord will be placed at the back of your HALO, so inserting it before mounting your HALO is best.

Mount HALO

Locate the silver pin on the back of your HALO, and guide it into the Wall Mount’s receptacle.

Secure HALO and power on

Use the Wall Mount’s side screw to secure the HALO into place. Plug the power cord into the wall and use the bottom, back switch to power on.
