2.5 Mounting the camera onto a tripod plate

Before proceeding make sure that the shoulder pad is in the back position. Refer to Section 2.4
on page 23 how to do this.
Attach the camera to the tripod adapter plate as follows:
1. Slide the camera horizontally along the tripod adapter plate from back to front ensuring
that the front of the camera engages the V-slot (1) at the front of the tripod adapter plate,
and that the slot on the bottom of the camera engages the stud (2) at the rear of the tripod
adapter plate.
2. Firmly push the camera forward until it clicks into place.
3. When the camera is mounted firmly, the locking lever (5) swings around fully to the rear of
the plate. If the lever does not travel the full distance, you should manually lock it into
place.
Caution
Failure to attach the camera to the tripod adapter plate in the correct manner could result in an
unsecured camera. Ensure that the rear stud (2) is engaged and that the camera clicks into
place.
Remove the camera from the tripod as follows:
1. Open the locking lever (5) to free the rear stud (2).
2. Press and hold the red locking lever (3) against the release handle (4).
3. Ensure that you have a firm hold of the camera.
4. Pull the release handle (4) forward.
5. Move the camera backwards and up.
