Mounting on a Tripod / Using a Video Light
Chapter 2 Preparations
Mounting on a Tripod
First fit the VCT-U14 Tripod Adaptor to the tripod, then
mount the camcorder on the tripod adaptor.
The camcorder cannot be mounted on a tripod adaptor with
one of the following indications in the model name space,
as shown in the above illustration. Use the appropriate
tripod adaptor.
• “VCT-U14” only
• “VCT-U14-B”
• “VCT-U14-D”
To remove the tripod
After removing the camcorder, if the tripod adaptor pin has
not returned to its original position, hold down the red
button and move the lever in the direction of the arrow to
return the pin to its original position. It is not possible to
mount a camcorder with the pin left out.
Using a Video Light
With this camcorder, you can use the Anton Bauer
Ultralight 2 or equivalent video light (powered by 12 V
with maximum power consumption of 50 W).
• If you connect the video light to the LIGHT connector on
the camcorder and set the LIGHT switch to AUTO, you
can turn the light on and off automatically as you start
and stop the VDR operation.
• The output of the LIGHT connector on the camcorder is
controlled to 12 V even when the camcorder is supplied
with 12 V or more power (through the DC IN connector
or battery pack). The brightness or color temperature of
the light will not change according to voltage increase.
• Do not use a video light with power consumption of over
50 W.
• The brightness or color temperature of the light will
change when the voltage (supplied through the DC IN
connector or from the battery pack) is under 12 V.
To attach the video light
Fit the video light to the accessory fitting shoe on the
camcorder grip, and connect the video light cable to the
LIGHT connector.
The accessory fitting shoe on this unit is of the
