Attach the tripod base on the tripod by using the hole that
balances the unit most optimally.
2.
While pushing the safety lever, pull the lock lever toward

3.
Place the unit on the tripod base by aligning the rear base
mount of the unit with the pin on the tripod base.

Push the unit from the upward direction and slide it toward
the front so that the front base mount of the unit is locked
by the front mount clip of the tripod base as it clicks into
place.
