2. Slide the rubber O-ring onto the back (eyepiece end) of the finder.

main body of the finder so
that it is toward the front
(i.e., objective) end of the
finder.
4. Slide the finder, eyepiece
end first, into the front
ring of the bracket. Push
it back until the O-ring is
snug inside the front ring
of the bracket.

To align the finder, please see the section on “Aligning the Finder.”
The C5 spotting scope will attach to any photographic tripod with a 1/4x20
threaded screw. The C5 attaches to the tripod via a photo tripod adapter block
that has three 1/4x20 holes. To attach the C5 to a photographic tripod:
1. Place any of the 1/4x20 holes in the photo tripod adapter block over the
1/4x20 screw on your photographic tripod.
2. Tighten the 1/4x20 screw to hold the C5 firmly in place.
If the telescope/spotting scope is not properly balanced, try using one of the
other holes in the photo tripod adapter block. Once mounted on the
photographic tripod, you are ready to use your C5 spotting scope.
