diagrambelow,oneortworeceiverscanbepositioned
in a variety of locations around the camera body using
theVelcroandSRaSLEEVEmountingoptions.
Mounting the receiver horizontally on the side of a camera
can seriously reduce the operating range of the wireless
system.
Formaximumoperatingrange,theantennasshouldbe
verticalandabovethecamerabody.Whileitmaybe
convenient,mountingthereceiverhorizontallyonthe
sideofthecameracanseriouslyreducetheoperating
range of the wireless system.
The receiver provides stand-
alone operation with the battery
sled adapter and mounting
sleeve. It can be mounted in
any position with Velcro, or in
horizontal and vertical positions
using the mounting foot.
SRSLEEVE Mount
