Information and setup guide for the tripod and release plate provided by Rokoko.
The tripod that can be provided by Rokoko is a Manfrotto 1004BAC Master Stand. The release plate is a Manfrotto 323 RC2 System Quick Release Plate.
The Tripod
The Master Stand has 4 sections with 3 risers, giving you complete precision. It features air cushioning so you can work quickly without worrying about catching your fingers or your gear becoming damaged from accidental release of the riser.
The wide footprint opens up to 107cm to keep things steady even on rougher grounds. It also comes with standard and easily compatible attachments, including a 16mm (5/8”) male top stud, and a 9.5mm (3/8”) or 6.4mm (1/4”) thread. Its height range of 124cm to 366cm allows you to raise your Coil Pro to new heights.
Made from reliable and lightweight aluminium, the Manfrotto 1004BC Master Stand won’t weigh you down and is sturdy enough to support up to 9kg. The tripod itself weighs 2.4kg.
Practical as well as clever, its compact design easily fits into your bag so you’ll always be ready for those demanding outdoor shoots. Slot everything neatly into a more compact case to keep things neat at the studio.

Setup:

Lock the legs and base in place by screwing tight lever “A”.
Note: Lighting stands must always be setup on firm ground capable of supporting the
weight of the stand and load. The ground should also be horizontally level.
Loading the stand (Image 1 & 2).
Mount the load on the stand attachment “E” (fig. 1).
All loads should be balanced with special care taken when using a “T” bar (fig. 2).
Height and adjustment (Image 3 & 4).
The stands have telescopic centre column height adjustment. Locking knobs “G” on the castings “H” are used to secure the columns in place. Push the column with downward force to check the extension is securely locked once the height has
been adjusted and knob “G” tightened.
When lowering each telescopic column, firmly support the load and column by clasping the relevant column with one hand whilst unlocking knob “G”. It is dangerous to move a raised stand with a load on top.
Transportation (Image 5 & 6).
The unique design of the stand allows 2, 3, 4; etc stands to be clipped together:
press button “W” and unhook the stand as shown in figure 5.
For transportation, hook the stand as shown in figure 6.
In addition, each stand has holes “L” for attaching the optional Manfrotto carrying
strap.
The Release Plate
The release plate provides a convenient solution for attaching your Coil Pro to a tripod and scopes lacking a quick release system. Its 200PL-14 plate is suitable for various devices, offering easy attachment and removal from the tripod head. With a 3/8"-16 threaded socket and a 1/4"-20 reducer bushing, this adapter is versatile and compatible with most tripod heads. It is made of aluminium and will not interfere with the signal from your Coil Pro.
