B. Installation of 300mm and 400mm Quick Release Plates
The 300mm and 400mm quick release plates are ideal companions to the UA-180 Mount.
They offer an additional support-link between the camera/lens and the lens support system
of the UA-180. Tighten the locking screws as shown in the picture. Do not tighten one screw
after another, but take turns tightening all screws partly, little by little, applying equal force.
