Video: Switching Pro2 to BLK360 to Pro2 | Video Courtesy of Mark Carroll YouTube Channel (5 March 2020)

Transcript

- This is a short video to review how to attach Matterport supported devices to a Manfrotto tripod.

The top of the tripod has a threaded screw that is for attaching clamps, clamps to hold the 3D capture units on the tripod.

This tripod first, will be mounted with a Matterport Pro2 camera.

The a quick release clamp, for the Matterport Pro2 camera. There are very many similar clamps on the market that will work for this purpose.

You attach the clamp on top of the tripod and screw the thread to attach the clamp.

Take the Matterport Pro2 camera, which you can see has a square shape on the bottom.

Adjust the clamp, to fit the width of the square on the bottom. Tighten the clamp to make sure the unit is tightly attached.

Now, this unit is ready for use. To switch the camera, to the BLK360, loosen the clamp, slide the camera out, remove the unit, including the clamp.

Then, take a BLK360 provided quick release clamp, notice the two buttons on the side.

Bring in the ball bearing on the top. Now this is ready to attach the BLK360 laser.

Note the bottom of the laser has a circle, that is to be fitted on top of this clamp.

Place the unit on top, but press the buttons in at the same time.

Make sure the unit is secure before letting go. Now this unit is able to be used to capture in the Matterport platform. To remove, hold on tightly, press the buttons and now you're able to remove the unit safely and can switch back to the Matterport 2 camera, quite quickly.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Hi,
sorry but you could do that easier in my opinion. I´m using a quick release clamp mounted on a e.g. MENGS® DY-60A Professional Tripod Leveling Base Compatibility 3/8″. In addition I mount the BLK360 quick release clamp on a quick release plate 3/8″.
Now you could change between Pro 2 and BLK only using the one quick release clamp.
