Setting up the Zacuto top mount 

What you will need:

 C100 camera, Zacuto top mount kit, screwdriver (flat and Philips), C100 handle 

 On the top of the C100 camera body is a hot-
shoe (female) mount.  

There is also a screw on its left hand (non-handle) 
side by the on/off switch. Remove this screw and 
put it to one side. 

The Mounting Plate 

The mounting plate, from the Zacuto top mount 
kit, has a male cold-shoe mount at its base which 
slides into the C100’s hot-shoe mount and then 
screws in place.  

 

Once done, you should notice two screw 
thread holes on the side of the mounting 
plate, the lower of which lines up with 
the location of the screw removed from 
the C100 previously.  

The screw piece removed from the C100 previously then screws into 
the top screw thread of the mounting plate. 

 

Rod arm adapter 

The rod arm adapter attaches into the screw threads on 
the top of the mounting plate, make sure these are tight 
and the arm doesn’t move.  

The Zacuto Handle Adapter 

The top of the Zacuto handle adapter has a female hot-
shoe mount, which contains a female screw and stopper 
rivet. The C100 handle has a corresponding male hot-
shoe on the bottom. The handle should catch on the 
rivet and then screw in place with the screw on the 
handle. Tighten further with the right-hand side ratchet 
levers on the adapter.  

For now, place the C100 handle to one side, it will not be 
needed till later.
