It is easiest to install the gear
sleeve and port with the
housing laying on it’s back with
the camera lens pointing up.
Position the clear plastic Gear
Sleeve with the gear teeth
pointed toward the housing.
The Gear Sleeve slides over the
lens and the Gear Sleeve’s ribs
slide into the grooves on the extended ears of the Zoom Clamp.
The gear teeth on the Gear Sleeve should mesh with the drive
gear in the port opening on the housing. (See front view
of housing)

1. Place housing face down in your lap.
2. Check to see that there is an
o-ring on the housing back and
that it is clean and in its proper
location.
3. Guide the back onto the housing.
The o-ring should touch the
housing all the way around.
There should be an even gap all
the way around between the
housing and the housing back.
4. Lift the lid snaps so they are
extended and place the lid
snap into the hook on the
housing back.
5. To close the housing push
down on the lid snaps until
they snap into place . Lid
snaps on opposite sides of the
housing should be closed at the
same time. Be sure they are
down far enough to engage
the lock.
D
Doouubbllee cchheecckk - Once the housing is closed, check the o-ring seal.
Check the gap between the housing back and the housing, it
should be even all the way around.
Look through the clear plastic back at the o-ring. You should see
a darkened area where the o-ring is compressed against the
housing back. If you do not see an even black compression seal
all the way around the back, open the lid snaps, reseat the
housing back and close the lid snaps. Visually check the seal again.

The two halves of the Zoom Clamp are held together by springs.
This allows the Zoom Clamp to be stretched to fit over the zoom
grip on different diameter lenses. The Zoom Clamp should fit
tight around the lenses zoom grip so that it does not slip when
using it to rotate the camera’s zoom ring. If the Clamp is loose,
adhere the thin black rubber strips to the inside of each half of
the Zoom Clamp as shown above. The Zoom Clamp has two
extended ears with grooves. These grooves accept the Ribs on
Gear Sleeve.
