Camera Mounting - Compact Camera Bracket
Mounting your camera on the camera brackets
For the Compact Camera Bracket,
shown at right, select the ap-
propriate mounting hle 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 hole in order to achieve
this. Carefully unscrew the knob
out of the threaded hole, being
careful not to crossthread the
knob. Replace the knob into the
appropriate hole by reversing the
procedure.
The camera knob is a 2 piece
knob, with an inner and outer
knob. Before installing the camera
knob in the bracket, turn the inner
knob clockwise into the outer
knob until it won’t turn anymore.
Install the knob into the appro-
priate hole then into the tripod
mounting hole of your camera.
Turn the inner knob into the cam-
era 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
accomplished by loosening the
purple knob and sliding the camera
bracket in and out along the Twin-
Axis Adapter. 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 Twin-Axis Adapter and then
moving the entire assembly along
the arm of the Rotator Base.
The Compact Camera Bracket
can also be equipped with a Quick
Release Plate. Compared to the
Standard Bracket, the Compact
Bracket has no camera shoes or
lugs to retain the camera. There-
fore, the Compact Camera Bracket
is best used in combination with
the Quick Release option. The
main advantage to the Compact
bracket is the smaller size and
lighter weight.
