To insert the quick release plate, ascertain that the quick release knob is fully
turned counterclockwise, press in the silver safety button, and slide the release
plate gently into place. Turn the quick release plate knob clockwise until the plate is
secured tightly.
Panning & Tilting
Tilting –
To control the resistance of
the tilt, you can rotate the ball head
adjustment knob clockwise for greater
resistance, or counter clockwise for less
resistance. Turn the ball head adjustment
knob until the desired resistance is
achieved.
(Note: For portrait shots, there
is a slit on the cylinder of the ball head,
where you can rotate the ball head into to
achieve portrait. For a full 90 degree angle
the Quick Release Plate Knob must be
facing up.)
Panning
- For smooth consistent
panning, tighten or loosen the ball head
panning adjustment knob until the right amount of resistance is obtained. Turning
the knob clockwise will tighten the head and make panning slow and firmer.
Turning the knob counter-clockwise to loosen it will make panning fast and easy.
(Note: Finding the right amount of panning resistance will give you smooth and
optimal speed for great captures. We also recommend the use of sand bags or carry
bags attached to the hook, to provide greater stability when panning.)
Inverted Shooting
There are two methods for
inverted shooting. The first
method allows the use of the
locking legs feature. The
second method is quicker and
easier to setup but does not
allow the legs to lock into
positions.
