# VersaX Camera Ring Light Installation

## Overview

The VersaX camera line includes an optional ring light that can be installed or removed as needed.&#x20;

#### VersaX Camera Models and Ring Lights

When the ring light is installed, the VersaX model number includes a suffix to denote the type of ring light attached. For example:

* A VersaX 120N is a VersaX 120 camera with a standard LED ring light attached.
* A VersaX 120W is a VersaX 120 camera with a wide-output LED ring light attached.

## Ring Light Posts

The ring light has 1 post that includes a 9-pin connector to attach to the camera electronically. One of the post holes on the VersaX camera contains the corresponding plug. Make sure the connector is lined up with the correct post hole before attaching the ring light.

## Attaching the Ring Light

* Place the Ring Light on a secure, flat surface with the posts pointing up. &#x20;
* Align the camera so the Ring Light Connector inserts into the corresponding Connector post hole on the camera.&#x20;
* Ensure that the Connector is properly and fully inserted into the camera.

## Locking the Ring Light

Using the tool provided with the Camera Ring Light, lock the remaining 3 posts in place to secure the Ring Light onto the camera.

* Insert the locking tool into the hole at the top of the post, just below the camera base.&#x20;

* Use the locking tool to turn the post in the direction shown on the graphic where the post connects to the Ring Light. Note that the locking hole does not line up with the graphic.&#x20;
* Repeat until all 3 posts have been locked in place.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
We recommend turning all 3 posts slightly to engage the threads before fully tightening each. If the first post is fully tightened before the other two, It may be more difficult to turn the remaining posts.&#x20;

To remove the Ring Light, use the Locking Tool to unlock the posts, then gently but firmly remove the camera from the Connector post.&#x20;
