Mounting the Pan Bar Assembly (FH versions only)
For manual operation, mount the pan bar assembly to the camera
cradle. Offset pan bars increase the range of movement and improve
manoeuvrability of large and unwieldy payloads. The pan bar assembly
can be mounted on the left or right-hand side of the camera cradle.
HD Tripod Mounting Options
The FH and FHR pan and tilt heads can be mounted onto the following
heavy-duty (HD) tripods:
Vinten HDT-1 single-stage tripod
Vinten HDT-2 two-stage tripod
Sachtler OB2000 aluminium tripod
1. Fit the pan bar assembly to the
cradle. Insert rods into openings
ensuring they cross at least two
mounting points
2.
Tighten the screws
underneath the openings
to secure the assembly.
3.
Attach the pan bars to the
rosette mountings.
!
WARNING!
Engage the tilt lock before lifting or working on
the head.
!
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to manually switch the pan or
tilt control switch to AUTO. Robotic mode must be initiated
from the control panel.
Mount the head to the HD tripod using either a Mitchell Centre Screw
(spider adaptor) and key or a Vinten Quickfix® adaptor.
