Standard Camera Bracket - Camera Mounting
Mounting your camera on the Standard Camera Bracket
To mount your camera, first select
the appropriate slot in the Vertical
Camera Bracket that will best
locate the tripod mounting thread
on your camera. You may need to
reposition the Captive Camera
Knob. To remove the knob simply
slide it along the slot to the end
that has the threaded hole. Care-
fully unscrew the knob out of the
threaded hole, being careful not to
crossthread the knob. Replace the
knob into the appropriate 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 camera.
The camera knob is a two piece
knob, with a inner and outer knob.
Before installing the camera knob
in the Vertical Bracket, turn the in-
ner knob clockwise into the outer
knob until it won’t turn anymore.
Next, install the knob into the ap-
propriate 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 get-
ting the camera level at this time,
as this is a task you’ll need to do
when you’re ready to shoot.
The left-right adjustment to center
your lens over the pivot point is
accomplished by loosening the
purple knob and sliding the brack-
et. Be sure to tighten the knob to
lock the bracket in place.
The fore-aft adjustment is made
by loosening the camera knob
and sliding the camera along the
slot. There are camera adjustment
shoes and lugs to locate your
camera on the bracket and to help
position the camera along the slot.
These devices will also make it
easy to remove and replace your
camera when you use it for other
tasks.
