lens on the camera. Mount lens ring on QR
clamp of R10. Tighten the clamp slightly.

Installing R10 Tilt Head and Bubble Level on Rotator Mini
Place the level on RM with bubble facing up. Place R10 tilt head on the level. Align for the
mounting sockets. Install 2 M5 flat head screws to fix R10 head to RM. While the level is still
movable, turn it to the rear right of R10 for best clearance of view and least footprint. Keep it at
2-3mm (1/8”) clearance from R10 to prevent damage of bubble by accidental bumping of
bubble into R10.
Depending on resellers, the package may come pre-assembled or individually with R10 tilt
head, lens ring, Rotator Mini (RM) and bubble level.

Slide the lens ring plate (LRP) to the NPP
setting. There are 3 lines marked on the QR
clamp. Use the center line for distance
reading. Other lines are 1.5mm apart from
the center line. Use them to assist reading to
an accuracy of 0.5 mm. Use the side
opposite to the QR handle for best accuracy.

predetermined NPP setting(s) specific for the lens, tilt head model and image shooting
pattern. It makes the whole setup foolproof. Just mount the lens ring, slide until it falls into the
stop. COMING SOON FREE OF CHARGE FOR GTP!
