10. Now put the FCCT-base
5
onto the
camera flange that the cut-outs for the
filter slider match.
To do so, at first bring the dark-slider
2
into its position and check if can be mo-
ved easily, while you attach the upper part
5
. In this case, the dark-slider acts as an
adjustment tool.
11. This side view (with the dark slider re-
moved) shows the correctly fitted upper
part. If you look closely, you can see that
the lower adjustment screw of the facing
pair of screws is still screwed outwards
here.
12. Now first screw the two 180° opposite
locking screws
3
back in until the visible
end of the grub screw is flush with the ou-
ter edge (and thus engages in the groove
on the inner ring), but does not protrude
deeper – otherwise the tilter function may
be blocked.
Now hand-tighten the three tilt screws
2
on the camera side. All six tilt screws
should be equally deep in the FCCT to
ensure that the camera is initially aligned
parallel to the axis. If possible, check the
alignment with a caliper gauge – the more
precisely the body parts of the tilter are
leveled, the easier it is to adjust the camera.
13. Now the FCCT is mounted on the camera.
Insert the dark slider as dust protection
before mounting the FCCT on the RASA 8
as described from
page 12
on.
