Operation

Operating the Pan and Tilt Locks

The pan and tilt friction locks are operated by the levers on the left side of the head.

After prolonged use, if the lock does not fully engage at the end of the lock travel, refer to “Adjust Lock Levers” on page 20.

The levers are designed so they can be released simultaneously with one hand.
