While pushing down the red lever, move the black lever in the direction of the arrow and slide the unit toward the back to remove it.

If the pin of the tripod adapter fails to return to its original position after the unit has been detached, again move the black lever in the direction of the arrow while pushing down the red lever, and return the pin to its original position. Bear in mind that the unit cannot be attached if the pin remains in the center.
