Instructions

Attaching the Dovetail to a Tripod Plate, Gimbal Plate, or Other Camera Support
1. Align the dovetail’s mounting holes with the corresponding threaded holes on your tripod plate, gimbal plate, or other support.
2. Use the appropriate screws (3/8″-16 or 1/4″-20, as required by your support equipment) to secure the dovetail.
3. Tighten the screws firmly with a compatible tool (such as a hex key or screwdriver) to ensure the dovetail is securely attached.
Attaching a Camera with Baseplate to the Dovetail
1. Slide the ARRI standard baseplate attached to your camera onto the dovetail.
2. Once the baseplate is in position, tighten the locking mechanism on the baseplate to secure it to the dovetail.
3. To remove your camera, slide to the end of the dovetail before pressing the safety stop and releasing the camera.
Mounting the Dovetail onto Wood or Other Surfaces
1. Position the dovetail’s non-threaded channels over the desired surface.
2. Use 1/4″-20 UNC screws (or compatible screws) to secure the dovetail through the channels. If necessary, use washers to compensate for the channel’s thickness.
3. Tighten the screws securely, ensuring the dovetail is firmly mounted to the surface.
4. Check the stability of the installation before attaching any camera or equipment.
