Calibrating a Letus 35 Extreme...Help!!!

Hi Everyone,

I just received my Letus 35 Extreme Bundle in the mail today. The person who I spoke to through email (From Letus) told me to get the 45mm + 15 mm Rod Support system. After setting this up I have no idea why. Take a look at the picture of it setup:

With just the 45mm:

With the 15mm extension rods:

So I am really unsure what the point of those extra rods are. Anyone know?

Also, I seem to be having some problem calibrating it. I have tried to follow all of the instructions that came in the user guide. But honestly the picture looks like crap. I searched YouTube for any videos showing in detail how to calibrate it, but came up empty handed :(

Anyone have any tips/tricks/videos to help me calibrate this? I am using it with a Panasonic dvx100b and I have a NIKON NIKKOR 35mm 1:2.8 AI LENS. The lens was purchased from Ebay, here is the auction listing:

Any help you guys can give me I would greatly appreciate. We start filming a feature film this Saturday (10-11-08). So I need this to work 100% by than.

Thanks in advance.
