Attaching the Camera to the Mounting Bracket Camera Platform continued...

Your camera attaches to the platform using the provided 1110841 Platform Mounting Screw

(this screw is found in a labeled bag inside the box with the your ringflash unit). The mounting

screw fits underneath the platform, through one of the four horizontal slots and attaches to you

camera's tripod socket. You will choose the slot that best positions your camera forwards or

backwards on the bracket, depending on the width of your camera body and the type of lens that

you are using. For most cameras, we recommend using the second slot from the front.

Once you have chosen the horizontal slot, you will then choose the position along the slot where

you wish to mount your camera based on the position of your camera's tripod socket in relation

to the center of your lens. On the bottom of the platform you will notice that between each

slot there are engraved notches - these notches mark the center line of the bracket with the

platform attached. If your tripod socket is centered directly below your camera lens, you can

simply line up the socket with these notches to attach the platform screw. If your tripod socket

is off-center, move the platform left and right so that the lens is centered with these notches.

With your position set, you will slide the platform screw between the horizontal slots and use

a flathead screwdriver to tighten it into place inside your tripod socket. You can then reattach

the platform to the mounting bracket. To slide the platform onto the bracket, the platform

adjustment knob on the bracket must be in the straight-down "unlocked" position. Facing the

back of the ringflash unit, position the platform with the release latch on the left side and slide

the platform into place. You will then use the platform adjustment knob to slide the platform

forwards and backwards, moving the camera in and out of the ringflash center hole. You may

want to keep the screw loose to test the positioning.

With your mounting bracket attached to the ringflash, you can then choose to mount the unit

to a light stand or to your tripod as the all-in-one design of the mounting bracket offers both

options. To attach your unit to a standard tripod, you will simply use the flush-mount tripod

socket located on the bottom of the bracket. The threaded socket fits standard tripod screws

and quick-release plates. When using the tripod mount option, you can fold the light

stand mount out of the way using the stand mount adjustment handle. Loosening this

handle will allow the stand mount to be swiveled backwards, tucking beneath and behind

the mounting bracket in the cut groove on the back side of the bracket.

The unit can be mounted to a standard light stand as well with the included swivel

stand mount, fitting light stands with brass connection studs up to 5/8-inch (all Paul C.

Buff™ light stands may be used). You will simply slide the brass connection stud on your

light stand inside the stand mount center chamber and tighten the stand attachment

knob to securely hold the bracket in place around the stud. With the stand attached,

you can then use the stand mount adjustment handle to swivel and tilt the position of

the unit on the light stand. Loosening this handle will allow you to adjust the position until you

find the correct angle. The position is locked when the handle is tightened again. When adjusting

the angle with this handle, be sure to support the ringflash and bracket with your other hand.
