As mentioned earlier, the metal plates pre
-
attached to the cables are
the Strain Relief (on the bottom) and Quick Release (on the top).
Note the red arrow in the
image to the right
-
it's
pointing to a lever that's
pulled back on the Quick
Release plate. The plates
must be set so that the
lever comes out
BEHIND
them when the head is in
this position.
Also, the
lever must be pulled back
(open) to accept the
camera, which will
then
snap into position
.
The Strain Relief plate has winding grooves cut out of it which allow
the
HDMI and remote cables to slide into place. Then, the Quick Release
plate installs
on top
of the Strain Relief to lock the cables down. This
set of plates prevents
any tension from pulling at the small connection
points on the camera. Any yanking or pulling on the cables will occur
below the plates, not at the delicate connection ports.
You must use
these plates
EVERY
time with the Hi
-
Pod, otherwise you will cause
damage to the cables causing them to become non
-
functional.
