Attaching a Camera

Attach the quick-release plate to the base of your camera with the 1/4-20 mounting screw, and tighten using the screw key. If your camera or other device uses a 3/8-16 socket, remove the 3/8-16 screw from the side of the handle. There is an additional 1/4-20 screw on the other side of the handle.

Attach the camera/quick-release assembly to the mount by seating the front end of the plate into the mount. Then press the rear side down until it locks into place.
