Viewfinder Adaptors for Hitachi HDTV Cameras
AT-90
AT-500
There are 2 different types of viewfinder mounts
that can be used with the VF-PBM207.
The top left unit is model AT-90
The bottom left unit is model AT-500
Both mounts can be used with Hitachi HDTV
cameras models SK-HD1200, SK-HD1000, Z-
HD5000 & Z-HD6000. Note that the VF mount is
installed on the CA-HF1200, CA-HF1000 or CX-
HD1000 cable adapter chassis as shown below.
Install the supplied Fixing Screw on the threaded
mount on the bottom part of the viewfinder
chassis.
Tighten
Secure the Fixing Screw such that it does not
easily come out. (We recommend you affix it
with some thread locking glue.)
Tighten
After mounting the Viewfinder on the Adapter,
move the lock level downward to secure it in
place.
AT-90
AT-500
The VF-PBM207/ AT-90 mount combination places
the center of gravity closer to the front of the
camera body and does not have as much front-aft
movement as the AT-500.
The VF-PBM207/ AT-500 mount combination
shown above, places the viewfinder closer to the
camera operator and has a superior tilt range
and longer movement lock handle.
