Multi-ongle Grip
   for Momiyo RB ond C33O





                        INSTRUCTIONS

Since the multi-angle grip is designed to permit
freely changing the grip angle merely by depressing
a push button, and to secure varying angles every
2O', a camera can be naturally and stably main-
tained under any photographing posture.
  The trigger mounted on the grip interlocks with
the shutter release button of the Mamiya RB or
c330.

r Attaching the flashgun bracket
    A flashgun can be secured to the camera by
    attaching a flashgun bracket (optional acces-
    sory). The following types of  f lashgun brackets
    are available: Type M:   for Mamiya flashgun
               Type G:   for Graflex flashgun
               Type H:   for Heiland flashgun
     When attaching the flashgun bracket, replace
   the base plate (11) with the flashgun bracket;
   then secure the camera by tightening the
    mounting screw (1 2).
     The subgrip is attached the same way as
    already mentioned, increasing camera-holding
     stability.

r Attaching to a tripod
  The multi-angle grip has a tripod socket (18)
at the bottom of its bracket to facilitatemounting a camera to a tripod with the
camera and the grip combined. This system is
convenient when employing a telephoto lens.
   After attaching the camera to the tripod,                                                tavoid carrying them together, since the camera
may drop off the tripod should the tripod
screw be sheared.
I  Attaching to a camera other
  than RB/C330
  To attach the grip to a camera without guide
pin sockets, the guide pins (4) can be depressed
into their recesses, responding to slight pushig
force on the camera bottom. Use the camera
mounting screw (12) to easily attach the grip to
any type of camera without worry. The trigger,
however, will not interlock with the shutter
release button when attaching a camera other
than the RB or C330.
