Does anyone know exactly how to adjust lens collimation on the SGPro (rev 3)? I've read plenty of places that you can do it, it's just that you have to take it apart and do it internally. I'm up for the challenge, but I need to figure out how to do it properly so I don't screw anything up. How...

I'm working on a film where we've had to get a fill-in gaffer for one day, and we've been swapping ACs as some have had crazy schedules and could not commit to the entire project. So, if I have two gaffers, how do I title that? And I have had three 1st ACs. Would they just all share the same...
