5

2. When mounting heavier modifiers, we recommend positioning the yoke in the middle of the oval
mounting bracket. This will allow for the most secure positioning.
NOTE: The L60-B was designed for compatibility with various modifiers. However, the yoke’s positioning,
the modifier’s depth, the modifier’s weight & the location of the weight on the modifier could cause the
yoke to be unable to maintain the desired position.
L60-B COB: Attaching & Removing Modifiers
Connecting a Modifier
1. Ensure that the clear protective cover has been removed from the front of the L60-B by sliding

2. Ensure the COB is turned OFF and has cooled for five minutes.
3. Grasp the modifier and align the four square mounting blocks with the adapter openings located
on the face of the COB.
4. Insert the modifier and gently turn clockwise until it locks into place.
Removing a Modifier
1. Ensure the COB is turned OFF and has cooled for five minutes.
2. Securely grasp the modifier.
3. Slide the COB’s modifier release away from the modifier.
4. Rotate the modifier counterclockwise until the four square mounting blocks align with the
openings. Pull the modifier away from the COB to remove.

Important Firmware Details
●It’s recommended that the firmware update installation process be completed only when the
connected mobile device’s power level is ≥ 50% and the L60-B is operating via AC power. Loss of
power of any type during this process could render the L60-B inoperable and require
professional repair.
●If your device should freeze or the firmware does not load correctly, unplug the L60-B from the
power supply. Plug the power supply back into your L60-B again and start the firmware update
process again.
