To nd your camera’s center of gravity, place an
ordinary pen on the table. Now, place your DOVETAIL
QUICK RELEASE PLATE directly on the pen and let
it rest gently. Move the plate (not the pen) back and
forth until it is not falling forwards or backwards. Now
that you have found the center of gravity, make note of
the mark on the DOVETAIL QUICK RELEASE PLATE
GUIDE SCALE MARKINGS. You will need it later.
(See Figure 34)
Figure 35
Now, slide the DOVETAIL QUICK RELEASE
PLATE into the CAMERA MOUNTING PLATFORM
while holding down the DOVETAIL SAFETY PIN.
(See Figure 35)
Figure 36
The CAMERA MOUNTING PLATFORM comes with
a beveled edge (See Figure 36). Line up the beveled
edge with your camera’s center of gravity mark found
in (See Figure 34). Release the DOVETAIL SAFETY
PIN when nished.
