OMNIA Assembly Instructions

OMNIA is universal quick release camera rig that works with all camera bodies, adding additional power options, limitless battery supply, master power control and much more.

Below are the assembly instructions to guide you on your way once you receive your new rig.

Above is what you will receive in the box as per below. 

What's in the box?

  • OMNIA Universal Cinema Rig
  • OMNIKEY Custom designed multi-tool
  • Quick Release Bottom Cheese Plate
  • Arca-Swiss Base Plate
  • 1/4" (3) Cheese Plate Fixing Screws
  • 1/4" (2), 3/8" (1) Camera Fixing Screws
  • QR Code to Assembly Video (coming soon).

Step 1

Attach the cheese plate to the underneath of the OMNIA body, using the supplied 3 x 1/4"x20 black screws and the OMNIKEY.

Turn it over and place OMNIA to the side for now.

Step 2

Use the supplied 1/4" or 3/8" stainless steel fastening screws to attach the Arca-Swiss Base Plate to the bottom of your camera body (or cage if using one). Ideally you will fasten the base plate with two screws, however just one is sufficient if necessary thanks to the rubber pads. 

There is some adjustment back and forth, which may come in handy later if you need to move the camera further back or forward. Ensure the plate is square to the camera.

In this case, we used 1 x 1/4" and 1 x 3/8" screw.

Step 3

Next, take the camera with the base plate attached, and place it in the cheese plate slot with the Cam Lock Lever in the forward position. 

With the Cam Lock Lever in the middle position, you can slide the camera forwards or backwards, according to your preference.

With the Cam Lock Lever in the back position, the camera is locked and secured to the cheese plate.

Step 4

An adjustment screw is provided on the Cam Lock Lever to adjust the clamping pressure applied to the ARCA Swiss base plate. This allows for compatibility with other ARCA Swiss plates, and to adjust for any future wear. Make small adjustments and then check the clamping pressure and tightness once in the closed/locked position.

Congratulations

Your OMNIA is now assembled and ready to add all your favourite accessories needed for your workflow.
