Step 6.  Mounting the camera
 in the portrait position.

 
 
 
You will need to know the distance from the base of your camera to the center of your camera's lens in millimeters.  The formula is (B divided by 2) + A
 

Once you know the distance to the center of your lens mount the upright arm in the appropriate place on the rotator arm using the 2 - 3/4" bolts.  The picture above shows the upright arm being mounted for a camera that is 28mm to the lens center.

 

The picture above shows the upright arm being mounted for a camera that is 52mm to the lens center.

 

Tighten the bolts securely making sure that the arm is flush with the sides of the rotator arm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Older models of the Panosaurus used 2 rubber washers and a metal washer between the metal arm and the upper horizontal arm however, all new model Panosaurus users will use only one rubber washer with the clamping knob.
