Operation
3.1 Moving of the pan bar
Open the blank clamping lever of the pan bar and move the
pan bar into the desired position. Close the clamping lever
of the pan bar. During transportation the pan bar can be
moved next to the tripod legs.
Caution:
Open the clamping lever of the pan bar far
enough. The teeth of the pan bar clamp should not clatter
while moving the pan bar. However, a plastic protector pre-
vents against wear of the metal toothed ring. Make sure
that the teeth interleave with each other when closing the
clamping lever of the pan bar.
Use of the enclosed pan bar on the left side of the fluid
head is also possible. For this it is advisable to relocate the
clamp on the pan bar. The pan bar has to be removed from
the head and the black plastic cap on its top should be ope-
ned and removed with a coin or screw driver. The toothed
clamp should be removed and relocated. The plastic cap
needs to be tightened again.
3.2 Levelling of the fluid head
Apply the vertical brake and hold the camera with one
hand. Open the clamping screw of the fluid head and move
the head in such a way, that the bubble moves into the
level´s black circle. Tighten the clamping screw firmly.
Touch Bubble
The DV 15 has a self illuminating Touch Bubble which
allows easy levelling even under unfavourable lighting con-
ditions.
The illumination is activated by strong tapping on the
bubble. Depending on the force applied the bubble will
glow up to 45 seconds.
