Fitting the Camera, Equipment and Accessories

Tripod Mounting

1
Place the unit on its side on a stable stand, so that
you have a good view of the base.
2
Attach the V-wedge shoe supplied with the tripod
to the base of the unit, using the screws supplied
with the tripod. When attaching the V-wedge
shoe, taking the total weight of this unit, the
camera, studio lens and viewfinder, and the size of
the pan and tilt head into consideration, choose a
position such that the unit will be mounted stably
on the tripod.
