Q=BASE II
The NOVOFLEX Q=BASE II has two mounting points
at the bottom. One 1/4“ thread and a 3/8“ thread. There
is a 1/4“ adapter screwed in the 3/8“ thread which can be
removed if not required. Mount the Q=BASE II with the
matching thread to the tripod or ball head. The central 1/4“
screw can be used on ball heads with female thread in the
ball neck. It can be removed if necessary.
In order to prevent the quick release unit from inadvertant
twisting, the Q=BASE II is equipped with an anti twist screw
(3). To activate, screw the Q=BASE II onto the tripod and
tighten the anti twist screw with a suitable allen wrench.
Mount the camera
1. Fasten the desired mounting plate to your camera.
2. Place the mounting plate to the fixed front part of your
Q=BASE II and press the camera downwards. An audible
latching signalises the correct locking.
The safety pin prevents the Q=PLATE mounting plates
from slipping out after the mounting plate is latched. This
allows proper adjustment of the mounting plate and the
mounted equipment without risking the equipment to slip
out uncontrollably.
Note
The safety pin works only with genuine NOVOFLEX
Q=PLATES.
3. After adjusting the equipment, turn the locking ring (6)
clockwise to tighten the mounting plate. The direction of
rotation is labeled with LOCK on the locking ring.
Dismount the camera
1. Turn the locking ring anti clockwise to untighten the
mounting plate.
2. To unlock the Q = BASE II, open the clamping ring (6)
by turning it to the OPEN position, tighten the ring and
simultaneously press the opposite unlocking button (2).
Note
The Q = BASE II can only be unlocked with the release
buttons (2, 6) when the clamping ring (6) is in the open
position.
