2.1 Remove the CAMERA PLATE by pulling down the SAFETY
TAB while rotating the QUICK RELEASE KNOB to the left.
The CAMERA PLATE should pop out.
2.2 Refer to the Camera’s owners manual for correct method
of attachment to the CAMERA PLATE.
2.3 Attach camera accessories and the battery to the camera,
it is recommended to estimate the camera’s Centre of
Gravity (C of G) for the purpose of correctly positioning the
camera on the CAMERA PLATE. The camera’s C of G can
be estimated by placing the camera on to a round rod and
then shifting it backwards or forwards until a balance point
– C of G - is achieved. It is recommended to identify this
point on the camera as it will be useful in step 2.6.
2.4 Attach the CAMERA PLATE to the camera and securely
tighten the screws.
2.5 Align the CAMERA PLATE with the SLIDING PLATFORM
and slide it in until the safety mechanism is engaged.
2.6 Release the SLIDING PLATFORM LOCK and slide the
SLIDING PLATFORM such that the camera’s C of G is
directly above the centre axis of the Fluid Head and tighten
the SLIDING PLATFORM LOCK (fig.5). If this can not be
achieved then reposition the CAMERA PLATE on the
Camera – step 2.4. This will ensure that the system has
maximum stability.
