special needs but doing so requires additional precautions. - Answer -True
If the NOMAD Pro 2 has been dropped, it should be returned to Aribex for a safety
check. - Answer -True
An exposure can be prematurely terminated for any reason by releasing the trigger at
any time during the exposure. - Answer -True
The NOMAD Pro 2 should normally be held with two hands for stability whenever
possible. - Answer -True
