Attach Base to DL or FL Housing
1. Determine the correct thread type for your housing mounts. ALL
white housings use 1/4-20 x 3/8” screws. Most clear and older
housings use 12-24 x 1/2” screws. 1/4-20 screws will not thread into
a smaller 12-24 size mount.
CAUTION: Using the incorrect screws could damage your housing
mounts.
2. Once the correct screws have been selected, place your Ikelite
DSLR housing upside down on a at surface or on your lap.
3. Line up the 3/8” tray holes with the housing mounts. If the tray is
positioned properly, the Quick Release Buttons will be extending
toward the rear of the housing.
4. Place a shoulder washer in the holes corresponding to the housing
mount holes, with the small end of each washer facing down.
5. With your free hand, insert and rotate the correct screws clockwise
until threaded into the housing mounts. Finish tightening the base
to the housing using a athead screwdriver. DO NOT overtighten.
