Kaidan KiWi Digital Camera Tripod - Manual (Page 12)

The Fore-Aft Adjustment
Put the Captive Camera Knob in the long slot of the Vertical Bracket.
This will allow you to slide the camera (along with the Camera Ad-
justment Shoe) as required.
Note: This step is most easily accomplished outside. Find a vertical
edge or line, such as a doorway or edge of a building. Position the unit
and tripod about four feet away, or as close as possible with the edge
still in focus when looking through the view displayed on the LCD
screen of the camera.
Looking at the camera’s LCD, find another vertical edge or object that
is far away, such as another building or telephone pole. Align the two
objects and rotate the Vertical Bracket so that they are in the left
hand side of the viewfinder.
Rotate the pan head so the two objects move over to the right hand
side of the viewfinder. Unless you have managed to unwittingly lo-
cate the right nodal point position, you should notice the two objects
will move with respect to each other as the Vertical Bracket is rotated
from left to right. Slide the camera to the front or rear as required to
eliminate this relative movement.
Looking through the viewfinder, align a close object (brick wall) with a
faraway object (telephone pole). As the camera is rotated from side-to-
side, there should be no relative movement between the two objects.
If, as shown to the right, the two objects move with respect to one another
in the viewinder, slide the camera fore or aft in order to eliminate this
movement. Here, the telephone pole has moved behind the brick wall.
Good.
No relative movement between objects
when rotating camera from side to side.
Bad.
Relative movement between objects
when rotating camera from side to side.
