ATTACHING YOUR CAMERA
To mount your camera, first select the appropriate slot in the
Vertical Bracket that will best locate the tripod mounting thread
on your camera. You may need to reposition the Captive Camera
Knob in order to achieve this. To remove the knob simply slide
the knob along the slot to the end that has the threaded hole.
Carefully unscrew the knob out of the threaded hole, being care-
ful not to crossthread the knob. Replace the knob into the appro-
priate slot by reversing the procedure. Note: Whatever side of
the Vertical Bracket you mount your camera on always keep the
offset portion of the Vertical Bracket towards the rear of the cam-
era. Attach your camera by threading the knob into the threaded
tripod hole of your camera. Note: The camera knob is a two piece
knob, (not shown), with a inner and outer knob. Before installing
the camera knob in the Vertical Bracket, turn the inner knob
clockwise into the outer knob until it won’t turn anymore. Next
install the knob into the appropriate slot then into the tripod
mounting hole of your camera. Turn the inner knob into the cam-
era until it bottoms out, then turn the outer knob clockwise until
the camera is tight on the Vertical Bracket. Don’t worry about
getting the camera level at this time, as this is a task you’ll need
to do when you’re ready to shoot. Note:If you have a large body
camera that has very long distance from the tripod mounting
surface to the center of the lens, the Vertical Bracket might have
to mounted on the Horizontal the reverse
of how it is shown below with
the camera facing in the other
direction.
