Mount the 

Trinocular 

Camera Port 

Assembly

Use the Allen wrench to loosen 

the set screw a bit then mount the 

assembly and tighten.

Note: 

There is a slider bar on this assembly. This slider moves an internal prism 

back and forth. When the slider is pushed in, 100% of the light is directed to the 
eyepieces. When pulled out, 20% of the light remains in the eyepieces and 80% is 
directed to the video camera. 

To see an image on your camera’s TV, 
the slider must be pulled OUT.

If the bar is only pulled half way out, you will 

only see half an image on your monitor.
