2.9 Tripod adapter plate
To mount the camcorder on a tripod, the tripod adapter plate (LDK 5031/10) must first be
attached to the tripod. Follow the tripod manufacturer’s instructions to mount the wedge plate
supplied with the tripod to the tripod adapter plate; then mount them firmly onto the tripod.
Attach the camcorder to the tripod adapter plate as follows:
1. Slide the camcorder horizontally along the tripod adapter plate from back to front ensuring
that the front of the camcorder engages the V-slot
at the front of the tripod adapter
plate, and that the slot on the bottom of the camcorder engages the stud at the rear of
the tripod adapter plate.
2. Firmly push the camcorder forward until it clicks into place.
3. When the camera is mounted firmly, the locking lever 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 camcorder to the adapter plate correctly will result in an unsecured
camcorder. Ensure that the rear stud
is engaged and that the camcorder clicks into place.
Remove the camcorder from the tripod as follows:
1. Press the red locking lever against the release handle and hold.
2. Ensure that you have a firm hold of the camcorder.
3. Pull the release handle forward.
4. Move the camcorder backwards and up.
– The camcorder is now free of the tripod adapter plate.
