User Manual

Pre-requisites:
The M-8 requires a camera body plate or L-bracket with Arca-Swiss style dovetails attached to the bottom of your camera.
The M-8 is compatible with most Arca-Swiss style dovetails such as those from Really Right Stuff and Kirk Enterprises.
Note: The M-8 is not compatible with most fixed-width quick-release clamps or plates made by Manfrotto or Gitzo.

Screw
Instructions continued >>
The Perpendicular Plate comes with one 3mm screw and a matching hex key. This screw can be inserted into the threaded hole in the
bottom of the plate to serve as a stop that prevents the plate from accidentally sliding out of the quick-release clamp if the clamp is
accidentally loosened (the knob at the back of the Perpendicular Plate keeps it from sliding out in the other direction).
If you opt to use the stop screw, you must open the jaws of the quick-release clamp wide enough to load the plate from the top
(instead of sliding it in from the side). Top loading is a little less convenient, but if you use the safety stop screw you can be
certain that your camera will not slide out of the clamp.
Using the stop screw will make it more difficult to quickly attach a flash bracket to the bottom of the plate.
However the stop screw will not interfere with attaching a flash bracket to the top surface of the plate.
1. Widen the jaws of the M-8 clamp by turning the clamp knob. The camera plate should seat flush against the clamp surface and slide in
easily. Note: If you have safety stop screws installed on your camera body plate, you will need to top load the plate into the M-8 clamp.
2. Tighten the M-8 clamp knob firmly to secure the camera plate within the clamp jaws.
