The universal camera mount (shown)
has a number of slots for you to
choose from to mount your cam-

the centerline of your cam era's lens
intersects the pivot axis of the swing
arm. Since some cameras have tripod
mounting threads that are not inline
with the center of the camera, it may
be necessary to use one of the vari-
ous slots on the bracket.
There are camera mounting shoes
(fl at shaped) and lugs (triangle shaped)
