Camera Mounting - Standard Camera Bracket
Mounting your camera on the camera brackets
For the Standard Camera Bracket,
shown at right, select the appropriate
slot in the bracket that will best locate
the tripod mounting thread on your
particular camera. You may need to re-
position the camera knob to another
slot in order to achieve this. To re-
move 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 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
appropriate slot then into the tripod
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 ac-
complished 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
assembly 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.
Note: You can also mount the optional
Quick Release Plate onto the Standard
Camera Bracket.
