MOUNTING THE QUICK-RELEASE
PLATE TO THE CAMERA
The quick-release plate has
a 1/4-20 screw that fits most
cameras.
1. Loosen the quick release
knob by turning it
counterclockwise.
2. Press and hold the safety
lock and slide the quick-
release plate off the head.
Note: The quick-release plate will
slide off in only one direction.
3.Align the mounting screw
with the threaded socket on
the base of the camera.
4. Use a slotted screwdriver or a
coin to tighten the screw into
the camera’s socket.
Note: If a 3/8-inch mounting
screw is needed, attach a 1/4 to
3/8 adapter bushing to the 3/8-16
socket.
Warning: Some manufacturers’
plates do not meet our
specifications and may not lock
your equipment securely in the
Oben quick-release clamp. If your
camera and lens plates are not
made by Oben, make sure to test
them to ensure compatibility

The AT/CT-3565 tripod and TVH-

tripod.
MOUNTING THE VIDEO HEAD
When returning the video head to
the tripod, follow these steps:
1. Tighten all the knobs on the
head.
2. Align the video head socket
with the tripod mounting screw.
3. Rotate the head clockwise onto
the tripod, and tighten it by
hand. To prevent damage to the
head and mounting screw, do
not overtighten.
