The PRO-5plus head has an on/off selectable balance system, set for payloads of 4.5kg (9.9lb)
at a centre of gravity (C of G) height of 55 mm (2.2 in.). The graph
shows the relationship
between C of G height and payload for optimum performance.
allows two balance levels to be utilized. Pushing the selector
down-
offers free rotation of the tilt axis with no counter-balance engagement. Lifting the
upward

balance mechanism to prevent it falling away suddenly.

fingers.
