Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation: Begin by attaching the baseplate using the provided screws. Ensure all mounting points are flush before tightening.
Component Assembly: Attach the top and side plates according to your desired configuration. Use the integrated magnetic Allen wrench to secure each connection point.
Accessory Mounting: Utilize the cold shoe mounts for top-side accessories like microphones, while the ARRI locating holes should be used for articulating arms to prevent rotation.
Compatibility: This kit is specifically designed for the Canon EOS C80. It supports original accessories like the focus plane indicators and off-camera shoe cords (OC-E4A).
Maintenance: Regularly inspect the screws to ensure they remain tight. Clean the aluminum surface with a dry cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could damage the finish.
