Note:
- Prior to attaching the camera, raise the fl ash rotator to the up position (see back view of bracket).
- The camera plate has been factory set for small cameras with the camera mounting hole on center of the lens.
(1) Setting the camera plate position - Left to Right
The camera plate has fi ve (5) position holes (5/16" apart) for positioning the camera plate left to right.
Two (2) screws are provided to attach the camera plate to the bracket. Once the correct left to right position has
been determined, use any two support position holes which line up with the camera plate position holes to attach
the camera plate using the 1/8" Allen wrench provided with bracket.
For smaller cameras, or those without add-on vertical grips / battery packs, position the camera plate with a
distance of 5/16" from left position (This position has been preset at factory).
For taller cameras, or those with add-on vertical grips / battery packs with the camera mounting hole on center
with the lens, position the camera plate to left position.
Note:
Some add-on vertical grips / battery packs have the mounting screw hole off center to the lens. Determine the
correct position to mount the camera plate to the support which locates the center of the lens as close to 2-1/8"
from the end of the support.
(2) Setting the camera plate position - Front to Back
The camera plate has two (2) camera screw holes for locating the camera front to back. Attach the camera using
one of the camera screw holes. Position of the camera is a customer preference on how comfortable it feels
when holding the bracket in the horizontal and vertical positions.
(3) Setting the camera anti-twist
Once the camera is positioned properly, adjust the two (2) camera anti-twists to contact the front of the camera.
Tighten the two (2) camera anti-twist screws located on the bottom side of the camera plate using the 1/8" Allen
wrench provided with bracket..
An additional hole in the anti-twist is provided if the camera screw "D" clip interferes with tighting the anti-twist
screws.
