the head to the camera
platform of the Skinny Jib.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Balancing the camera
correctly is very important
for the head to perform
properly. You must
balance the camera both
horizontally and vertically
to get zero gravity balance.
Horizontal balance is the
balance between the front
and back of the camera.
Vertical balance is the
balance between the top
and bottom of the camera.
Step 4 through 9 are the
balancing steps.

hardware provided to attach
the camera to the camera
cradle of the head, Drive
the long screw deep into the
camera, then use the lobe
knob to jam it firmly in place
5. HORIZONTAL
BALANCE: Balance the
camera horizontally by
sliding the camera forward
or backward as shown
above. Loosen the
mounting knob slightly to
allow the camera to slide.
6. After achieving good
horizontal balance, re-
tighten the camera firmly
to the platform.
7. VERTICAL BALANCE:
Use the knob on the
underside of the camera
cradle to loosen or tighten
the camera cradle and
adjust its position.
