Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Horse Shoe is straightforward, as it mounts directly to the existing hard points on the right side of the RED V-RAPTOR. Ensure you align the bracket properly before tightening screws to avoid cross-threading the camera body. For care, simply wipe down the aluminum surface with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust or debris. Since the unit uses stainless steel helicoils, it is highly resistant to thread wear; however, avoid over-tightening accessories into the threads, as this can still potentially damage the mount. Regularly inspect the mounting screws during long-term production cycles to ensure the connection to the camera body remains firm and vibration-free.
