For maximum stability use OMC on a flat surface, like a
tabletop or keyboard ‘X-style’ stand. When using OMC
with a tripod additional support may be needed. Use the
1/4”-20 threaded stand adapters on the ends of OMC
with C-stands or light stands for added stability.
Attach tripod
mounting plate
using the 1/4”-20
and 3/8”-16
mounting holes
on the base of
the OMC.
For best results, level
OMC on the tripod. If
any camera tilt is
desired, use the Tilt
Head, not the tripod.

Attach a monitor to the threads on the rear of the unit with an articulating arm for easy
viewing of your image, without having to be behind the unit or ‘travel’ with the camera.
The OMC can be used in single camera configuration, or as the closeup or wide shot
on multi-camera interviews. Adjust your desired framing by using different lens focal
lengths.
