(The figure below shows the connection between M-3 and upright module; the same principle applies for other module connections.)

knob

cylindrical nub

Unscrew the knob so that
the upright module can fit
between the cylindrical
nub and the knob base

Forked end of
module

Slip the forked end of the
module over the exposed
threads. Locate one of the
enlarged areas in the forked
end over the cylindrical nub.

Tighten the knob
securely.

Tip: if you find the metal knobs difficult

to grip, try wrapping several layers of
self-fusing rubber grip tape (3M 2155)
around the knob to cushion it and make it
easier to grip in the field.

Attaching the M-1 to a Lens or camera plate:

The M-1 attaches to your Arca-Swiss style lens plate using a narrow low-profile quick-release (QR) clamp.

The clamp on the bottom (M-1) module can be attached to the bottom dovetail of an Arca-Swiss style plate or be flipped to attach to the

top dovetail of a double dovetail.

(The M-1 is not compatible with most Manfrotto or Gitzo quick-release plates.)

Beanbag Combo Using the M-1:

Attach two M-1 quick release arms to the bottom of your lens foot in opposite directions. This forms a
snowshoe-like foot for the bottom of your lens which gives you added stability when working from a beanbag.

Thank you for your interest in Wimberley products. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact us.

Attach M-1 Quick Release to single dovetail plates: Use the AP-11 to

convert older, single dovetail plates made by Really Right Stuff and Kirk to
the double dovetail configuration for greater flexibility in bracket attachment.
