2.9 Tripod adapter plate
To mount the camcorder on a tripod, the tripod adapter plate (LDK 5031/10) must first be
attached to the tripod head. Follow the tripod manufacturer’s instructions to mount the wedge
plate supplied with the tripod to the tripod adapter plate; then mount them firmly onto the
tripod.
Attach the camcorder to the tripod adapter plate as follows:
1. Open the locking lever by swinging it to the right.
2. Slide the camcorder horizontally along the tripod adapter plate from back to front ensuring
that the front of the camcorder engages the V-slot
at the front of the tripod adapter
plate, and that the slot on the bottom of the camcorder engages the round stud at the
rear of the tripod adapter plate.
3. Firmly push the camcorder forward until it clicks into place.
4. When the camcorder is mounted firmly, swing the locking lever around to the rear of
the plate to the left until it locks the camcorder.
Caution
Failure to attach the camcorder to the adapter plate correctly will result in an unsecured
camcorder. Ensure that the rear stud
is engaged and that the camcorder clicks into place.
Remove the camcorder from the tripod as follows:
1. Open the locking lever by swinging it to the right.
2. Press the red locking lever against the release handle and hold.
3. Ensure that you have a firm hold of the camcorder.
4. Pull the release handle forward.
5. Move the camcorder backwards and up.
– The camcorder is now free of the tripod adapter plate.
