Page 55
2. Install the 3x threaded studs into the base of the camera. Do not use thread locking compound, as this may damage the plastic riser. 3. Slide the camera-base seal over the threaded studs, and push it firmly into place on the camera’s base.
Page 56
4. Place the camera on top of the riser, so the threaded studs extend through the three holes in the riser’s top surface. Check that the camera-base seal remains firmly in place. • Note the camera forward marking on the top surface of the riser. You must ensure that the riser is mounted so that the camera is oriented properly relative to the bow of the vessel.

Page 58
Note: • If it is not possible to route the camera cables through the mounting surface, cut a hole in the side of the riser, and route the cables through the riser sidewall. You may need to loop the cables around within the riser base, so that they can be passed through the hole you have cut in the side of the riser.
5.2 JCU–3 Mounting Note: The JCU-3 joystick control unit is supplied with M100/M200 Series camera system kits, and separately as an optional accessory.
