Custom Brackets CMP Camera Mounting Plate to Bracket and Camera

Product Information

The Digital PRO-SV (CMP, QR-C Kit, QR-C, C-SP & QR) is a camera bracket designed to provide stability and support while taking photographs. It comes with a camera mounting plate (CMP) and anti-twist arms that help to keep the camera in place. The bracket also has a camera quick release (QR-C kit, QR-C, C-SP) for easy attachment and detachment of the camera. The product is made in the USA and can be purchased from the Custom Brackets website.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Attach the camera mounting plate (CMP) to the back of the bracket using the provided screws and Allen wrench. There are five sets of mounting holes to choose from, so select the one that positions the center of the lens as close to the center of rotation vertically, 2-9/16 inches from the top of the Rotator.
2. Attach the camera to the CMP using the D-style camera screw. Choose which camera screw hole to use based on personal comfort for holding and reaching the lens’s zoom ring and/or focus ring.
3. Adjust the two anti-twist arms to make contact with the front of the camera body using the provided Allen wrench and tighten the D style camera screw. The location of the anti-twist arms’ contact point is based on personal preference for gripping the camera in horizontal and vertical positions.
4. If using a camera with an add-on vertical grip or battery pack, remove the anti-twist arm’s screws and install them on the opposite side of the CMP. Remove the D style camera screw and install it on the opposite side as well.
5. When choosing which camera screw hole to use, ensure that the left anti-twist arm (viewing from the back) is behind the base. The arms must not go forward of the base for rotating or damage may occur to the bracket.
6. To attach the camera quick release (QR-C kit, QR-C, C-SP), push the push bar in the QR-C and slide the C-SP downwards into the QR-C. The push bar on the QR-C needs to be pushed in when attaching and detaching the C-SP.
