Top Plate Adjustment
The top plate has dimensions of 7-¼ in (18.4 cm) as shown in the technical drawing in Figure 8. The top
plate also rotates 360° to assist in polar alignment. The knob located on the top plate (Figure 9) loosens
and secures down the top plate from rotating.
This adjustment should be done before mounting the Paramount MYT on the tripod. It is
good practice to tighten this knob all the way down when you have the approximate
location however the top plate can be rotated with a bit of force after the Paramount MYT is
attached. The tighter the knob after this adjustment, the less room for movement there will
be during use.
