Tripod Adapter Plate
To mount the camera on a tripod, the tripod plate (LDK
5030/00 is delivered as standard) must first be attached
to the tripod.
Follow the tripod manufacturer’s instructions to mount
the wedge plate supplied with the tripod and the tripod
adapter plate firmly onto the tripod.
To attach the camera to the tripod adapter plate
proceed as follows:
a. Slide the camera horizontally along the tripod
adapter plate from back to front ensuring that the
front of the camera engages the V-slot
1
at the
front of the tripod adapter plate, and that the slot on
the bottom of the camera engages the stud
2
at the
rear of the tripod adapter plate.
b. Firmly push the camera forward until it clicks into
place.
Caution
Failure to attach the camera to the tripod
adapter plate in the correct manner could
result in an unsecured camera . Ensure that
the rear stud
2
is engaged and that the
camera clicks into place.
To remove the camera from the tripod proceed as
follows:
a Press the red locking lever
3
against release
handle
4
on the tripod adapter plate and hold.
b. Ensure that you have a firm hold of the camera .
c. Pull the release handle
4
forward.
d. Move the camera backwards and up. The camera
is now free from the tripod adapter plate.
When a 5-inch viewfinder is used with the camera it is
recommended that the optionally available tripod
adapter plate LDK 5030 be used. This tripod plate has
an extra locking lever
5
at the rear which provides an
additional clamp for the rear stud and so gives extra
stability to the mount.
When the camera is mounted on the tripod tighten this
locking lever
5
to ensure that the stud
2
at the rear
of the plate is locked firmly in place.
When removing the camera first open the locking
lever
5
to free the rear stud
2
.
