The adjustable upright has a safety stop installed to prevent the ash mounting plate from hitting the
top of the camera. If the upright lock knob is backed out, it will clear the safety stop and allow the
upright to be retracted completely into the grip for storage.
Important information for Digital PRO-M, QRS-H2, QRS-E2 and QRS-2
The ash tilt has a lock knob for locking the angle of ash. When the lock knob is released, tilt the
ash to a different position. The tension of the tilt is factory set, adjusting it may cause damage to
the camera, ash, and / or bracket.
