Page 8: Mounting
Mounting The space for mounting a camera head onto the slide is 8 cm x 10 cm. We recommend using the Multi Slider with a quick release plate offered by Waterbird systems. The slider can easily be mounted on tripods. Each segment of the Multi Slider has a thread on the underside. -

Page 10: Safety Instructions
Fingers must be outside the rails to avoid getting pinched. Always lock the Multi Slider while transporting it. Give it a fixed shape and make sure that the shape isn’t changed during transport. When moving the slide, make sure you are not touching the rails, and that there are no other objects on the rails, segments or anywhere else on the system.
