Installing & adjusting the camera angle
Rapta has a system of mounts that enable adjustment of the camera position and angle to suit your application. The parts are printed from a high temperature, ultra strong material called PETG.
Tools & Parts Required
- 2.5mm hex socket driver
- 4 x M3 6mm cap head screws
- 1 x 8020 mount
- 0 – 20 deg wedge kit
The angle of the mount is set by a part we call the “wedge” that has its designated angle written on the side. A positive number such as 4 indicates that the angle is 4 degrees and a negative number such as -4 indicates that the angle is -4degrees.
