SAFETY & INITIAL SET-UP
Your FH-350 Fluid Head was designed to incorporate the highly desirable features found
in larger, top-tier fluid heads in a compact package better suited for smaller video
camera systems like DSLRs and other similar units.
Designed with a true sinusoidal counterbalance system with infinite adjustability
within its weight rating, the FH-350 ensures the camera feels smooth and consistent
throughout the entire 180° of tilt. Proprietary damping grease maintains a consistent
pan-and-tilt feel over a wide range of temperatures.
Also built into the fluidhead is our patented lever-release clamping system; a perfect
mate with RRS lens plates and rails, the FH-350 is a DSLR videographer’s dream come
true! A distinctive feature of the FH-350 is the integrated dovetail base, which allows
quickly swapping between tripods and various setups.
The included handle can be positioned at any angle within a 180° range by utilizing a
clutch-style locking system. Say goodbye to slipping handles because of teeth wearing
out, like what happens with classic Rosettes or poker-chip interfaces. Choose between
left-hand or right-hand positions or purchase a second handle assembly and use both.
Please follow the safety and set-up points below to assure safe and proper use of
your FH-350 fluid head.
• Read this User Manual before installing or using the fluid head.
• Never disassemble any part of the FH-350. Aside from routine lever-release clamp
maintenance, head is not serviceable by user.
• Use a tripod with sufficient load capacity and rigidity to support your load. Ensure
the tripod is stable, balanced, and that all leg and angle locks are firmly locked.
• Fluid heads perform best when installed on a tripod fitted with a 75mm or 100mm
video bowl leveling base. Ensure that the leveling base is securely fitted to the tripod.
• The FH-350 can be installed onto a platform with 3/8”-16 threaded stud.
• The FH-350 can be installed onto any tripod or leveling base fitted with a Really
Right Stuff-style quick-release clamp. When using this installation method, double
check that the quick-release clamp is properly closed before using the head.
• Level and balance the FH-350 and camera using instructions provided in the
“Balance the Camera” section.
