Adjusting the counterbalance of your camera on the EVO PRO
Before using either the tilt or pan drag on the fluid head, you
will need to accurately counterbalance your camera in order to
counteract the effects of gravity and neutralise the effect of the
camera weight when tilted. When a head is correctly balanced,
the camera operator will need only a minimum effort to move the
camera, while the head can be set to any tilt position and maintain
that position without being held there.
1. Make sure that the fluid head is level by checking the built-in
bubble level and adjusting head position accordingly.
2. With tilt lock disengaged and while maintaining a firm hold on the
payload, tilt the head forwards and backwards to determine if load
is front or back heavy. If the camera tends to fall forward when
you tilt down and fall back when you tilt up, turn the Balance knob
clockwise to increase the counterbalance force. The heavier the
camera and gear payload, the more you will need to adjust the
counterbalance. When the camera is in proper balance, it should
stay at any tilt angle. you can also finetune balance by minutely
adjusting the sliding plate on top of the head.
Adjusting tilt drag
1. Make sure the tilt lock lever is in the unlocked position.
2. Practice with the tilt drag settings to get a feel for the range of
adjustment. If you need very smooth, slow motion while tilting
the camera up or down, increase the tilt drag adjustment by
turning the dial clockwise towards you for a higher setting
(45) .
To decrease drag, turn the dial counterclockwise away from you
for a lower setting.

NOTE:
If you want very heavy
drag for your tilt, you
may need to sandbag
or weight your tripod to
prevent it from shifting.
The tilt lock lever should
not be used for drag.
It is designed only for
holding the position of
the fluid head.
