Twin-Axis Camera Bracket - Camera Mounting
Mounting your camera on the Twin-Axis Camera Bracket
Select the appropriate slot in the
bracket that will best locate the tripod
mounting thread on your particular
camera. You may need to reposition
the camera knob to another slot in or-
der to achieve this. To remove the knob
simply slide the knob along the slot to
the end that has the threaded hole.
Carefully unscrew the knob out of the
threaded hole, being careful not to
crossthread the knob. Replace the
knob into the appropriate slot by re-
versing the procedure.
The camera knob is a two piece knob,
with a inner and outer knob. Before in-
stalling the camera knob in the
bracket, turn the inner knob clockwise
into the outer knob until it won’t turn
anymore. Next install the knob into
the appropriate slot then into the tri-
pod mounting hole of your camera.
Turn the inner knob into the camera
until it bottoms out, then turn the
outer knob clockwise until the camera
is tight on the bracket. Don’t worry
about getting the camera level at this
time, as this is a task you’ll need to do
when you’re ready to shoot.
The left-right adjustment to center
your lens over the pivot point is accom-
plished by loosening the purple knob
and sliding the camera bracket in and
out of the slider. Be sure to tighten the
knob to lock the bracket in place.
The fore-aft adjustment is made by
loosening the other purple knob on the
slider and then moving the entire as-
sembly along the arm of the Rotator
Base.
There are camera adjustment shoes
and lugs (shown at left) to help locate
your camera on the bracket and to
help position the camera along the
slot. These devices will also make it
easy to remove and replace your cam-
era when you use it for other tasks.
