Swing Away 

•  Loosen the Tilt and Flex Adapter or remove the lens rubber ring from the lens.  

  Alternatively, extend the matte box with the extension module.

•   Pull the release plunger while opening the matte box to the right of the camera until it 

locks automatically (Fig. 1+2).

•   Pull the release plunger and swing the matte box back onto the lens until it locks 

automatically.

•  Adjust the matte box extension if necessary.

 

Tilt Module

•   Turn the tilt control counter-clockwise for tilting up to 10° and clockwise for tilting down 

up to 10° (Fig. 1). 

•  When the desired position is achieved, lock the tilt module with the locking nut (Fig. 2).

The Swing Away Tilt Module works perfectly in combination with the Tilt and Flex 

Adapter.
