SET DAMPING
The FG-02 Fluid-Gimbal Head features four distinct damping settings for both pan & tilt. 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 in order to
achieve the most consistent results. Press Selector Switches to set the desired damping level.
Note that chevrons are marked on both sides of the FG-02.
One side displays filled chevrons
→
One side displays empty chevrons
→
When you press a Selector Switch on the filled chevron side, it appears raised on the
empty chevron side. This allows you to visually check damping levels from either side.
Balance Load, Step 2
Keeping one hand on the camera and/or lens for support & safety, loosen the Tilt Lock
Knob. Gently allow the camera to tilt under its own weight. Adjust positioning until
camera’s weight is balanced and it no longer tilts under its own weight.
