For still cameras, align the length of the Platform along the baseplate of the camera body, and tighten screw into the tripod socket with a coin.
For video cameras, match the Camera positioning pin of the Platform to the corresponding hole beneath the camera, and then tighten screw into tripod socket with a coin.
