2 ATTACHING YOUR CAMERA
To mount your camera, first select the appropriate slot in the Vertical Bracket that will best locate the tripod mounting thread on your camera. You may need to reposition the Captive Camera Knob in order to achieve this. To remove the knob simply slide the knob along the slot to the end that has the threaded hole. Carefully unscrew the knob out of the threaded hole, being care- ful not to crossthread the knob. Replace the knob into the appro- priate slot by reversing the procedure. Note: Whatever side of the Vertical Bracket you mount your camera on always keep the offset portion of the Vertical Bracket towards the rear of the cam- era. Attach your camera by threading the knob into the threaded tripod hole of your camera. Note: The camera knob is a two piece knob, (not shown), with a inner and outer knob. Before installing the camera knob in the Vertical Bracket, turn the inner knob clockwise into the outer knob until it won’t turn anymore. Next install the knob into the appropriate slot then into the tripod mounting hole of your camera. Turn the inner knob into the cam- era until it bottoms out, then turn the outer knob clockwise until the camera is tight on the Vertical Bracket. Don’t worry about getting the camera level at this time, as this is a task you’ll need to do when you’re ready to shoot. Note:If you have a large body camera that has very long distance from the tripod mounting surface to the center of the lens, the Vertical Bracket might have to mounted on the Horizontal the reverse
