Note:

The upper plate of the bridge plate can be con-

 

verted for use with Super 35. This ensures that

 

the accessories are also exactly adapted to the

 

displaced optical center of the Super 35 format.

 

See also Chapter 12, Super 35.

Attaching the Bridge Plate to the Camera

Fasten the sliding upper plate photo with the two slit screws to the camera base. Both cylindrical pins photo (twist prevention) must glide into the holes.

Then screw the base plate onto the wedge plate of the tripod and lock onto the tripod head.

Slide the camera with the upper plate into the dovetail- guide of the base plate until the spring-loaded stop pin photo snaps back audibly. The camera’s position can then be fixed with the clamping lever.

Slide the support rods into the guides and clamp.

Equip the camera with the required accessories to determine the center of gravity. Loosen the clamping lever photo, and by sliding the camera on the base plate find the optimal position. Then retighten the clamping lever.
