Compact Camera Bracket & Twin-Axis Adapter (Optional)

Mounting your camera on the Twin-Axis Camera Bracket

The Compact Camera Bracket is offered as an optional choice when purchasing a KiWi. You can also purchase it separately.When used with Twin Axis Adapter, it provides two separate axes of adjustment.This makes it easier to slide the camera into the proper position in order to locate the nodal point over the axis of rotation.There are two sliding and locking adjustments with purple lock- ing knobs.

This bracket is also the best choice for those who use fisheye lenses. Since the camera's optical axis is inline with the main horizontal plate, the only part of the tripod head which appears in the shot with a circular fisheye lens is a small semicircular portion of the base.

The Compact Camera Bracket has three threaded holes for the Camera Knob. Use the hole that is most ap- propriate for your particular camera.

The modular construction of the makes it easy to loosen the adjust- ment axes and quickly remove the various elements.There are conve- nient measurement scales in both axes to ease reassembly.

An optional Arca-style Quick Release plate is available as an option for the Compact Camera Bracket. It can be purchased with the bracket or pur- chased and installed at any time.

You can also purchase the Twin-Axis Adapter separately and use it with the Standard Camera Bracket (as shown below).This provides additional mounting surface area and the use of lugs and shoes to help retain the cam- era.This is a better choice for those not using a quick-release plate.
