Installation

To facilitate the adjustment procedure, we recommend locking the three axes 

before the adjustment and unlock and adjust them one by one.

• Make the lens face up, slightly loosen the 

thumb screw of the tilt axis, push the cam-

era to move forward or backward until the 

camera can stay still with the lens facing up 

(i.e.the camera stays still and vertical to the 

ground as shown on the right). Complete 

this step by tightening up thumb screw.

• Unlock the tilt axis and the quick release 

plate latch, push the camera to move for-

ward or backward until the camera can stay 

still and almost level with its lens facing 

front (as shown on the right), then lock the 

quick release plate latch.

• Loosen the quick release plate thumb screw 

and make the camera grip as close to the 

tilt axis motor as possible.
