HOUSING AND CAMERA SETUP
STEP 1 - Remove/Attach Tray and Handle
The Tray and Handle may be removed for transport and then
re-attached for housing use. We recommend leaving the Tray and
Handle attached whenever possible to avoid accidentally scratching
table tops or other surfaces with the Tray Mounting Bolts.
To remove, loosen both 3/8-16 Nuts using a 9/16” open/box end or
socket Wrench (not supplied). Do not lose Tray Spacer; it is needed
for re-attachment of Tray and Handle.
