How to mount the camera on the plate

To tighten the plate "A", you can use

• a coin
  
• hex key "E"
  
• the screw's flip ring
  

How to mount the camera on the adapter

Insert the camera plate into the adaptor and then press plate "A" downwards until the locking lever closes with an audible click.
Make sure that plate is fully locked by pushing lever (in the direction shown in fig. 6) and checking that the camera is fitted securely. Make sure that the safety button "S" is out of the locking lever. Make sure that screw "G" is fully locked, and do not adjust it after locking the plate.

Safety pin

The quick release adaptor allows the lateral sliding of the plate when the locking lever is not fully locked, and includes a safety pin that prevents accidental fallings of the camera.

Usage with other brand plates

The quick release adaptor is also designed to accommodate some plates with similar dimensions.
Test your plate by mounting it on the adaptor.
See how far the locking lever rotates at the time of mounting, push the lever for fully locking and check that the plate does not slide.
Fig. 8B: If the locking lever does not rotate far enough and the plate cannot be fully locked, try rotating screw "G" until it reaches the end, and then test your plate again.

Removing the safety pin

If you are using a non-Gitzo plate and the safety pin blocks the mounting of the plate, or prevents the lateral sliding of the plate, remove the safety pin following fig. 9.

In addition to reading these instructions, it is also important to read the general instructions printed on the warranty card packed with your product.
