LDK 5301/10 Tripod adapter plate
To mount the camera on a tripod, the tripod plate must first be attached to the tripod.
Follow the tripod manufacturer’s instructions to mount the wedge plate supplied with the
tripod and the tripod adapter plate firmly onto the tripod. Attach the camera to the tripod
adapter plate as follows:
• 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.
• Firmly push the camera forward until it clicks into place.
• 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.
