MOUNTING YOUR CAMERA
The best camera control can be achieved
by mounting and balancing the camera’s
centre of gravity over the centre axis of
the head. The head is also equipped with
a sliding camera platform to help you
achieve this.
1) Engage pan lock by rotating the lever
clockwise until firm; engage tilt lock by
rotating the knob clockwise until firm.
2) Remove camera plate by unlocking
the slide lock, rotating the quick release
knob and sliding the camera plate
backwards.
3) Attach the camera to the camera plate
by using the ¼” screw and pin in the
plate.
4) Check that the slide lock is released,
then align the camera plate with the
camera base. Slide the camera with
camera plate forward until the safety
mechanism is engaged.
5) Lock the slide lock when camera is
balanced over the centre of gravity of the
head.
DRAG CONTROL
The SAFARI tripod head provides
adjustment for tilt drag control (Fig.3).
Rotate clockwise to increase friction
resistance, and anti-clockwise to decrease
friction resistance.
