Vertical Balance
1. Loosen the platform adjustment knob, and adjust the height
to vertically align the center of the lens with the axis of the
tension control knob. Re-tighten the platform adjustment
knob after every adjustment.
2. After each adjustment, test the balance by pointing the
lens up and down. If the lens and camera can be tilted at
any angle and remain in place, they are now vertically and
horizontally balanced.

Pro Tips
• For each setup, use masking tape or a grease pencil to
note the position on the swinging arm and along the
QR plate. This will make balancing the camera and
lens much faster in the future.
• To maximize image sharpness, support the camera
with your right hand while resting your left hand on
the front third of the lens.
