Package Contents of R10 GTP Package
Depending on resellers, the package may come pre-assembled or individually with R10 tilt
head, lens ring, Rotator Mini (RM) and bubble level.
Installing R10 Tilt Head and Bubble Level on Rotator Mini
Place the level on RM with bubble facing up. Place R10 tilt head on the level. Align for the
mounting sockets. Install 2 M5 flat head screws to fix R10 head to RM. While the level is still
movable, turn it to the rear right of R10 for best clearance of view and least footprint. Keep it at
2-3mm (1/8") clearance from R10 to prevent damage of bubble by accidental bumping of
bubble into R10.

Installing the Preset Integrated Stop Plate on Lens Ring
A preset integrated stop plate snaps to the LRP to form an internal part of it. It has
predetermined NPP setting(s) specific for the lens, tilt head model and image shooting
pattern. It makes the whole setup foolproof. Just mount the lens ring, slide until it falls into the
stop. COMING SOON FREE OF CHARGE FOR GTP!

First of all, make sure the R10 head has an
upward tilt. If not, reinstall it.
Install the lens ring on the lens according to
its installation guide at the back. Mount the
lens on the camera. Mount lens ring on QR
clamp of R10. Tighten the clamp slightly.
Slide the lens ring plate (LRP) to the NPP
setting. There are 3 lines marked on the QR
clamp. Use the center line for distance
reading. Other lines are 1.5mm apart from
the center line. Use them to assist reading to
an accuracy of 0.5 mm. Use the side
opposite to the QR handle for best accuracy.

labeled at the base.

Push to snap it in place.
Install the stop screw (came with the stop
plate) at the middle socket on the QR clamp.
