SUGGESTED ACCESSORIES
QUICK-RELEASE PLATE
Your camera must be fitted with a Really Right Stuff-style quick-release plate; not included.
Please call us or visit our website to purchase the model-specific plate for your camera.
BALANCE RAIL
A balanced camera load is key to achieving consistent results with the FH-350. To achieve
balance, you must shift the camera forwards and backwards until the center of gravity is
positioned over the center of the fluid head. Most cameras fitted with RRS quick-release
plates, however, cannot slide fore & aft in the quick-release clamp on the FH-350 (most
plates only allow left/right shifts). Use a Balance Rail to translate left/right shift to fore/
aft shift. We recommend using either our MPR-CL or MPR-CL II rails.

BALANCE THE CAMERA
A balanced camera load is key to achieving consistent results with the FH-350. Without
properly balancing the camera, the operator will have to compensate by balancing
the camera load with their operating hand. This increases the difficulty of achieving
a smooth tilting motion and also limits the effectiveness of the true sinusoidal
counterbalancing mechanism found in the FH-350. Ensure the camera load is balanced
before making adjustments to the Counterbalance Adjustment Knob. Balance the
camera quickly using these steps.
Level the head
Use the built-in spirit level to level the head. The head is level when the
bubble is centered within the scribed black circle.
