ball mounts.
Step 3: Place the Camera in the
Quick-Release Mount
Now that we have our quick-release camera mount attached to
the vibration isolation plate—and that plate is installed on the
rubber ball mounts—all we have left to do is slide the camera
into the camera mount (see Figure 8-7 ). Make sure that the lens
of the camera is pointing away from the camera mount, then
line up the small groove that runs around the middle of the cam-
era with the five tabs that stick out from the sidewalls of the
camera mount. These tabs are what hold the camera in place
when it’s positioned inside the mount. Now, gently push the
camera back into the mount while holding the back of the
mount for extra support.
