Mounting the Camera
Before mounting the camera, the carriage must be fitted to the camera base.
Screw the camera plate onto the underside of the camera using the supplied screws.

Attach the camera to the head (follow the instructions for the head in use)
The camera lens should be positioned as close to the prompter glass as possible.
Adjust the height of the prompter system so the lens is central inside the hood.
Release the height adjustment lever by turning anti clockwise (make sure to support the prompter assembly)
Raise or lower the assembly to suit the camera lens setup. There is a scale on the side of the adjustment plate to help determine the centre point of the lens. When the required height is achieved tighten the lock lever firmly to secure the setup.
