ELEV-8 Laser Rangefinder Mount Kit
(#725-28925)
This aluminum bracket kit is designed for mounting a LightWare
SF11-C Laser Rangefinder (Parallax #28054) to the Bottom
Chassis Plate (#721-80303) of an ELEV-8 v3 Quadcopter
(#80300).
The precision machined aluminum conveniently positions and
protects the SF11-C in a downward facing orientation for accurate
distance and altitude measurements without taking up any room
below the Bottom Chassis Plate, so you have plenty of room for
other accessories. Assembly is quick and easy.

Assembly Instructions
Step 1: Align the mounting bracket on the back (or side) of the top face of the Bottom Chassis Plate on
your ELEV-8 v3 Quadcopter as shown below.
Step 2:Attach the mounting bracket to the Bottom Chassis Plate using the two #4-40 x ½” socket-head
cap screws and #4-40 nylon-insert locknuts, and tighten with the 3/32” hex key and wrench.
Step 3:Insert the SF11 laser rangefinder (as shown below) into the figure-8 shaped opening. Secure
with two #4-40 x 1/4” long, socket-head screws using the 3/32” hex key. Do not overtighten. If available,
we recommend you place a small drop of medium-strength thread-locking fluid onto each screw first.
