NOVOFLEX VR-System PRO II User Manual page 6

The adjustable end stop (4) enables a parallel
course of the clamping plate to the optical axis and
allows a reproducible positioning of the camera on
the plate.
You can fix the adjustable end stop in front or be-
hind the camera, depending on the external shape
and dimensions of the camera body and lens. In
the illustration on page 4 you see both possibilities.
Some camera bodies allow only one option.
Now install your camera with mounted lens on the
blue clamping plate (2) in the optimal position and
slide the adjustable end stop to the housing. After
that tighten the camera- (3) and end stop screw
(4) with the Allen key® or a coin.
In the event the front lens or hood of a wide angle-
or fisheye lens contacts the clamping plate (2),
then don't tighten the camera screw. This would
exert strong pressure on the camera body and may
damage your camera or lens.
In this case, a spacer plate, such as the NOVO-
FLEX PLATTE-U (see fig. on the right) is re-
quired. Alternatively use a battery grip or a quick
release unit like the NOVOFLEX Q=MOUNT
Mini D on the clamping plate. The problem only
appears with compact DSLR' s such as the Canon
EOS Rebel T7 or SL2 and others in combination
with a large front lens. Professional camera bodies
are higher and not affected.
Tip
The systems L-bracket QLP-VR PRO (9) can be disassembled for transport.

Tip
When requiring an increment not on the
increment selector knob, use the half click-
stopped angle and take the picture every
second click stop. Example: If you need an increment of
24 steps use 48 steps and take the exposure every second click-stop.
Notice
• the blue increment knob (13) is a little hard to operate, sim- If
ply put the base plate in a position between two click-stops.
Then it can be operated more easily. Please also notice, that
the knob can only be turned in one direction in position 0/72.
Try by turning the plate: 72 click-stops: Turn only to the right,
0 click-stops: Turn only to the left.
• Please keep in mind that the lower angle locking screw (11) is
open when using click-stops!
