Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, align the 1/4-inch screw with the tripod mount on the base of your camera body. Use a coin or the integrated D-ring to tighten the plate firmly until the rubber inserts make full contact with the camera chassis. To maintain the life of the plate, avoid overtightening with power tools, which could damage the technopolymer threads. Keep the rubber surface clean of debris or grit by wiping with a slightly damp cloth to ensure the friction grip remains effective over time. Ensure the plate is fully locked into your head attachment mechanism before releasing your grip on the camera.
