OPERATION
1. With your left hand securely holding the foot of
the camera lens, pull the handle of lock-pin
D
upwards with your right finger(s) and rotate the
handle 90°. This will release the locking
mechanism of the lock-pin and allow the tripod
head to rotate.
2. While still securely holding the foot of the
camera lens, now pull the handle of upper lock-
pin
E
and rotate it 90°. Swing bracket
B
will
now swing freely. If the camera or lens tends
to drop, the balance may need adjustment.
Minimal adjustment is available.
3. To adjust the balance, simply loosen the quick-
release plate and slide it forward or backwards
within the slot. Also, some lenses have holes
in the feet that allow the lens to be placed in
different positions on the quick-release plate.
Note that some experimenting may be
required.
It is now highly recommended that you practice
rotating and swinging your camera to get the feel of
the tripod head and how it operates. A quick flip of
the lock-pin handles will cause them to lock the swing
bracket and ‘L’ frame as soon as the centering holes
align with the lock-pin.
