First fit the VCT-U14 Tripod Adaptor to the tripod, then 
mount the camcorder on the tripod adaptor.

After removing the camcorder, if the tripod adaptor pin has 
not returned to its original position, hold down the red 
button and move the lever in the direction of the arrow to 
return the pin to its original position. It is not possible to 
mount a camcorder with the pin left out.

You can use the Anton Bauer Ultralight 2 or equivalent for 
this camcorder. Use a video light powered by 12 V with 
maximum power consumption of 50 W.
• If you connect the video light to the LIGHT connector on 

the camcorder and set the LIGHT switch to AUTO, you 
can turn the light on and off automatically as you start 
and stop the VTR operation.

• The output of the video light connector on the camcorder 

is controlled to 12 V even when the camcorder is 
supplied with 12 V or more power (through the DC IN 
connector or battery pack). The brightness or color 
temperature of the light will not change according to 
voltage increase.

• Do not use a video light with power consumption of over 

50 W.

• The brightness or color temperature of the light will 

change when the supplied voltage (through the DC IN 
connector or battery pack) is under 12 V.

Fit the video light to the camcorder grip or the accessory 
shoe and connect the video light cable to the LIGHT 
connector.

Slide the camcorder forward along the slot, until it 
clicks firmly into place.
