Now securely place and center your Camera and
the attached QUICK RELEASE PLATE on top of the
CAMERA MOUNTING PLATFORM. Hold the silver
button to allow the plate to drop into the CAMERA
MOUNTING PLATFORM. Secure the knob on the
right of the CAMERA MOUNTING PLATFORM to
lock your QUICK RELEASE PLATE in place.
(See Figure 36)
NOTE: Make sure the knob on the right of the
platform which keeps the QUICK RELEASE
PLATE locked in place is loosened so you can
drop in your CAMERA with QUICK RELEASE
PLATE. Be careful not to loosen it too much
as it will release from the CAMERA MOUNTING
PLATFORM.

If you have a video camcorder or lm camera that is
larger than the one used in this manual, then you might
wish to rst nd the true front to back center of gravity
of your camera by rolling the base of your camera
on a pen until it is balanced upon the pen. There
are guide scale markings on the DOVETAIL QUICK
RELEASE PLATE so you can remember for later.
