2.5 LDK 5301/10 Tripod adaptor plate

To mount the camera on a tripod, the tripod plate must first be attached to the tripod. Follow
the tripod manufacturer's instructions to mount the wedge plate supplied with the tripod and
the tripod adaptor plate firmly onto the tripod. Attach the camera to the tripod adaptor plate as
follows:
1. Slide the camera horizontally along the tripod adaptor plate from back to front ensuring
that the front of the camera engages the v-slot (1) at the front of the tripod adaptor plate,
and that the slot on the bottom of the camera engages the stud (2) at the rear of the tripod
adaptor plate.
2. Firmly push the camera forward until it clicks into place.
3. When the camera is mounted firmly, the locking lever (5) swings around fully to the rear of
the plate. If the lever does not travel the full distance, you should manually lock it into
place.
Caution
Failure to attach the camera to the tripod adaptor plate in the correct manner could result in an
unsecured camera. Ensure that the rear stud (2) is engaged and that the camera clicks into
place.
