measured above.
You need to add to the height 9.5mm if you use the EPDM adapter plate
and 15.5mm if you use the off-axial adapter.
So, for a Dimage 7, you slide the vertical arm to 60.5mm because you must use the off-
axial adapter for it. For an E20, you slide it to 51mm if you use the off-axial adapter or to 45mm
if you use the EPDM adapter plate.
Off-axial Adjustment
If your camera has a tripod mount off the lens axis, you need to use the off-axial adapter.
But before you use it, you need to determine the amount of off-set.
Using the Dimage 7 as an example, first, you need to determine the lens axis. This can
sometimes be difficult. But most of time, there are reference point that lies on the lens axis. For
example, the 2 screws under the lens of Dimage 7 lie exactly on the lens axis. Try to find some
similar reference points on other cameras. If there is none, draw a line (with pencil) that bisects
the lens as accurately as possible. Then measure the distance from the center of tripod socket to
