Positioning your Flash:
To position your flash, simply loosen the two wing knobs on the Macro Arm clamshells. This allows for quite a wide array of flash
positions.
Tighten the wing knobs to lock the flash securely into position.

Attaching the Bracket to a Lens:
The F-2 bracket attaches to your Arca-Swiss style lens plate using a narrow low-profile
quick-release (QR) clamp, which eliminates loose screws and the need for tools. The
clamp on the bottom (M-1) module can be attached to the bottom dovetail of an Arca-
Swiss style plate or can be flipped to attach to the top dovetail of a double dovetail plate.
See Connecting Flash Bracket modules: on the opposing page for more details.

the double dovetail configuration for greater flexibility in bracket attachment.

Attaching and Removing Your Flash Unit:
Wimberley Flash brackets have a 1/4”-20 thumbscrew that attaches to an off-camera hot shoe cable or a wireless cold shoe adapter
such as the Wimberley AP-7. The flash cord connects your flash unit to the camera body electrically. We do not sell flash cords.
Please follow camera and flash unit recommendations when purchasing flash
cords to ensure proper signal transmission.
