The setup in front of the scene is done as described on page 4 „Basic assembly".
However, don't insert your camera into the quick release for now. This should al-
ways be the last step, after all adjustments are done.
Step 2:
Level the system with the horizon:
Watch the spirit level on the lower locking screw (11) and level the system by the
ball head or the leveling device.
Step 3:
Bring the upper arm in the 90° position
Open the rotator stop screw (6) slightly, move the arm
upwards and tighten up the screw in the 90° position
(there is marking line on the rotator at this position).
Step 4:
Adjust your system
Now, setup the scale values you determined before,
(see chapter "Preparatory steps"): The value on the
lower leg is dependent on the camera: Use the lower
locking screw (11) for setup. The value on the upper leg
is dependent on the lens, respectively focal distance
when using a zoom lens. Use the upper locking screw
(3) for set up.
Step 5:
Insert the camera with premounted camera-plate
into the quick release:
Open the quick release locking screw (1) and insert
the camera-plate complete with camera. Slide to
the prepared position (according to whether you use
lengthwise or crosswise installation, see page 7 or 9)
and retighten the screw. Before releasing your cam-
era, check for secure connection to the quick release.
Advice:
Please keep in mind when using lengthwise installa-
tion: The camera-plate insertion into the quick release
should be done only at the far end of the upper arm
(see page 6). After that, slide the camera including
quick release to prepared position (step 4).

Installing the camera-plate QPL Slim 50
When mounting the quick release lengthwise
on the upper leg, the camera-plate is mounted
crosswise comparing to the optical axis (see
illustration above).
Align the plate precise parallel to the camera's
bottom edge, 90° to the optical axis. The cen-
ter of the camera-plate should be roughly at
the level of the optical axis.
Insert the camera-plate unit into the quick release

Advice:
The camera's plate insertion into the quick release
should be done principally at the far end of the upper
arm, because only at this position do you have unre-
stricted access to the quick release locking screw (1).
Open the quick release locking screw (1) and slide the
camera-plate unit into the quick release from above. At
the middle position tighten the locking screw (1) again.
The precise adjustment will be done afterwards.
Before releasing your camera, check for a secure con-
nection with the quick release (see safety references
on page 3).
optical axis
The plates scale should be seen
from behind, otherwise mount
the plate the other way around.
First open the locking screw (3) a
bit and slide the complete quick re-

lease to the far end of the upper arm.
Now tighten up the locking screw (3)
again.
