Camera Body with
Offset Mounting Hole
Uses of offset mounting hole:
Some cameras have a mounting hole that is offset from the lens axis. If this is the case and you would like the plate to be more centered, you
can remove the center screw by sliding it to the
threaded end of the center slot
(Figure 3) and reinstall it in the offset hole. This will allow you to
mount the plate closer to the lens axis.

The offset hole may also be useful for obtaining the optimal plate position
when mounting the P
-
5 to a collared lens or medium format camera.
1. Position the P
-
5 lengthwise
as shown in Fig. 1
2. Mount the P
-
5 to the bottom of your camera
with the
mounting screw using the enclosed
5/32”
hex key. Rotate
the screw until you feel resistance, then rotate the screw a
little more so that the plate is snug.
WARNING! Do Not Over
-
tighten!
Please exercise caution when mounting on camera bodies with
plastic threads or those that do not have a metal skeleton.
The P
-
5 requires that you tighten the plate snugly to your camera
body to ensure that it does not twist. The P
-
5 rubber surface resists
twisting on the body with
minimal
clamping force.
