QuickPan Rotator Base

Tripod threaded bushing adapter                                                                                 Mounting camera bracket

The QuickPan III / IV Rotator Bases comes 
with a tripod adapter bushing which ac-
commodates both 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch 
tri pod mounts. 

1/4 inch Tripod

If your tripod has a 1/4 inch threaded 
mount, leave the brass bushing in the 
center hole in the bot tom of the rotator as 
shown at right.

3/8 inch Tripod 

If your tripod has 3/8 inch threaded mount, 
remove the brass bushing by un screw ing it 
in a coun ter clock wise di rec tion and screw-
ing it into the adjacent hole in a clock wise 
direction us ing a coin (or large screwdriver) 
as shown at right.

Use the spare outer hole to store the brass 
bushing when you're using the 3/8 inch thread. 
That way, you won't lose the bushing!

To mount your camera bracket 
onto the rotator loosen the clamp 
lever at the bottom of the camera 
bracket. To loosen the clamp lever 
grab the lever and turn coun-
terclockwise. The clamp lever is 
turned clockwise to tighten and 
counterclockwise to loosen. The 
lever part of the clamp lever is 
spring-loaded and can be reposi-
tioned by pulling outwards against 
spring pressure and moved clock-
wise or counterclockwise. Next 
position the end of the horizontal 
bracket of the rotator and slide it 
into the slot at the bottom of the 
camera bracket.
Note: There are various images 
throughout this manual showing 
the mounting confi gurations of the 
cmarea brackets on the rotator.
