he battery mount can be brought in tight to the base for a whippy feel and plenty of leg clearance
for switches. Or, the battery mount can be elongated to increase pan inertia and to balance a monitor

Support the batteries with one
hand and loosen the battery
clamp knob with the other.
Rotate the batteries to the angle
you desire and re-tighten the
battery clamp knob.
To slide the batteries, unlock the
battery rods by rotating both
clamp levers perpendicular to the
battery rods.
Slide the batteries to either balance the rig or move
to your preferred position. Then re-lock the clamp
levers before checking drop time.
TIP: Battery tilt friction can be adjusted just like the monitor mount.
