Mounting your camera on the Twin-Axis Camera Bracket

Select the appropriate slot in the bracket that will best locate the tripod mounting thread on your particular camera. You may need to reposition the camera knob to another slot in or- der to achieve this.To remove the knob simply slide the knob along the slot to the end that has the threaded hole. Carefully unscrew the knob out of the threaded hole, being careful not to crossthread the knob. Replace the knob into the appropriate slot by re- versing the procedure.

The camera knob is a two piece knob, with a inner and outer knob. Before in- stalling the camera knob in the bracket, turn the inner knob clockwise into the outer knob until it won’t turn anymore. Next install the knob into the appropriate slot then into the tri- pod mounting hole of your camera. Turn the inner knob into the camera until it bottoms out, then turn the outer knob clockwise until the camera is tight on the bracket. Don’t worry about getting the camera level at this time, as this is a task you’ll need to do when you’re ready to shoot.

The left-right adjustment to center your lens over the pivot point is accom- plished by loosening the purple knob and sliding the camera bracket in and out of the slider. Be sure to tighten the knob to lock the bracket in place.

The fore-aft adjustment is made by loosening the other purple knob on the slider and then moving the entire as- sembly along the arm of the Rotator Base.

There are camera adjustment shoes and lugs (shown at left) to help locate your camera on the bracket and to help position the camera along the slot. These devices will also make it easy to remove and replace your cam- era when you use it for other tasks.
