2.4 Mounting the SOLYS on the SOLYS Tripod Floor Stand
The SOLYS is supplied with a standard Ø102 mm bottom flange, which has a 3-hole M8 mounting pattern to match the SOLYS
Tripod Floor Stand with leveling feet. The tripod has 3 slots for mounting the 3 M8 bolts to the bottom flange. Both the E mark on
the bottom flange and the Kipp & Zonen logo on the tripod must point to the East when mounting the SOLYS. Ideally the bolts
should be in the middle of the slots when the tripod is mounted to the SOLYS. This allows fine tuning the position afterwards.
Turn in the M8 bolts by hand. Do not fasten these M8 bolts during this first part of the installation.
After aligning (chapter 2.7) they should be fastened.
