3.7 Setting of the Damping

The fluid head is equipped with seven damping levels hori-
zontally and vertically and a zero setting. Turning the verti-
cal or horizontal setting one selects the desired level of the
fluid damping. Turn the setting ring to ”0” in order to switch
off the damping completely.
Make sure that you always turn the setting to the next inde-
xed position. Engage the retainer pins by slowly panning or
tilting the camera.
ATTENTION: Panning or tilting the camera with settings
between the indexed position can damage the retainer pins
and/or disks.

If you set the setting rings on the same index number
(e. g. ”3”) the degree of the horizontal and vertical damping
is identical and thus enables precise diagonal panning
movements without jerks and vibrations.

3.8 Brakes

The horizontal brake applies the lock for the pan and the
vertical brakefor the tilt movement. Both brakes are vibra-
tionless and can be used during shooting.

3.9 Support for viewfinder extension

The fluid head Plus has on both sides a preparation to
accept a support system for a viewfinder extension.

3.10 Change of the batteries

The illumination is powered by three standard type button
cells (625 U or LR9) located in the battery holder, which
can be opened with a sharp object such as a screwdriver.

Make sure to insert the new batteries according to the
”plus” and ”minus” symbols as indicated in the covering
plate.

The batteries last for about 2000 illumination cycles.
