SET DAMPING
The FH-350 features three distinct damping settings. This gives the operator the flexibility of
choosing a setting that is right for the shoot and feels comfortable for the operator. Select the
damping after balancing the camera and setting the Counterbalance Level in order to achieve
the most consistent results. Select the desired damping level by following these steps.
Set Counterbalance
While holding the head tilted forward, rotate the Counterbalance Adjustment Knob
counterclockwise until the springy resistance is reduced and the head stays in its tilted
position without user input.
• If the head falls under the weight of the camera, increase the counterbalance
by rotating the adjustment knob clockwise (in the direction of the “+” arrow).
• If the head springs back toward zero tilt, decrease the counterbalance by rotating
the adjustment knob counterclockwise (in the direction of the “-” arrow).
• When set properly, the head should stay in any tilt position without requiring
user input.
Note:
This feature is accurate to /- 5% and small changes in
angular position may occur.
