4.2 Mounting the Track

The track has different options for mounting. One is to use the 3/8” UNC thread to mount the

track on tripods or fixed poles. The two 4,2mm holes can be used to fix the track to

undergrounds via 4mm screws from top or via self-tapping M5 screws from behind an

underground plate.

4.2.1 Mounting the Track to Tripods

First mount the tripod adapter plate by screw to the middle thread of segments (spigot

adapter plate ensures high stability and comes with waterbird tripods or can be ordered

separately)

It is recommended to have a support tripod or pole every 5-6 segments for lightweight loads

like PTZ cameras or every 3 segments for heavy loads.

Finally connect the track to the tripods by sliding in the adapter plates into the tripods and fix

it with tripod locking screw.
