Install Quick Release Bracket Set for Tripod Models
600, 642, 656
The quick release mounting bracket set will hold an FRC tripod securely on the
vehicle. The mounting bracket set consists of a lower base into which the bottom of
the tripod legs rest, and an upper locking bracket, which has a quick release knob on
the right side.
1. Place the tripod in position to check for t.
Note: The mounting brackets are aligned left and not centered on each
other.
2. Mark the mounting hole locations.
a. Align the left sides of the brackets and the left side mounting holes for
the tripod to t correctly.
b. The upper bracket is mounted with the pull knob to the right side.
c. Use the brackets as templates.
Helpful Hint: Mount the bottom bracket rst. Attach the quick release bracket
to the hole on the upper slide casting of the tripod. Rest the tripod legs
in the base, and push the upper bracket in position ush to the mounting
surface. Mark the top bracket hole locations.
3. Dill the mounting holes. The mounting brackets are predrilled for 1/4-20
hardware.
Note: Tripods with Focus lampheads require that 3/4" spacers be installed
between the mounting surface and the brackets so the back of the lamphead
will clear the mounting surface.
4. Install the mounting brackets (and spacers with Focus lamphead).
