CAUTION :

The front base mount may be locked while the pin of the tripod base is not inserted into the hole on the rear base mount of the unit. Therefore, after mounting, make sure that these parts are engaged properly.

When moving the GY-DV550 mounted on a tripod, any impact or vibration should be avoided as this may cause the unit to become detached and to drop from the tripod. Be sure to remove the unit from the tripod before
