Heavy Duty Base is an accessory for your camcorder or
webcam. We do not manufacture cameras; we give them mobility. Our products
are meant to work with your existing camera. A camera is NOT
included. ·
To ensure stability when using Heavy Duty Base with a
camcorder, you must use a camcorder tripod. A camcorder tripod is
not included. · It is up to you to interface your camera’s video to your PC using a Firewire interface or a video capture card. No video interfacing equipment is included. |

tripod 4. Hardware Setup 1. Screw
the camera shoe, shown in Figure 1, into the ¼” screw thread on the bottom of
your camcorder. 2. Mount
the Heavy Duty Base onto your camcorder tripod, treating the Heavy Duty Base
as if it were a camcorder and following the directions that came with the
tripod. Do
not continue without mounting your Heavy Duty Base on a tripod. The weight of
a camcorder may cause the Heavy Duty Base to tip otherwise. 3. Plug
the flat end of the USB cable into your computer’s USB port. 4. Plug
the other end of the USB cable into the USB connector on the back of the
Heavy Duty Base. 5. Move
Heavy Duty Base’s lock lever counter-clockwise to its open position. 6. Lower
your camcorder onto the Heavy Duty Base, guiding the camera shoe into the
space between the shoe guide and the lock lever as shown in Figure 2. 7. Move
the lock lever clock-wise all the way to its closed position, as shown in
Figure 3. You should feel the camcorder click into place. 8. Make sure that your camcorder feels firmly
locked into place. If it does not, repeat steps 6-9. Do
not attempt to use your Heavy Duty Base before you are sure that your
camcorder has locked into place securely. |
