7.7. Push the assembled arm back to its original position.
Make sure to keep the winding knob “upside down”.
7.8. Push the arm to the timer and the winding knob
against the teeth. Use a Phillips-style screwdriver (not
supplied) to fix it in place. It is important to not
overtighten the screw as it may damage the timer and its
performance.
9.1. Tensioning the spring.
For setups that are slightly off-balance, use the first positions as shown (image to the left). You can feel that the spring is
not under a lot of tension. Use the spring at its highest tension only for heavy setups and strong imbalance. See below how
to choose the spring’s position.
Please avoid unnecessary spring tension as this might alter the timer’s clock tracking rate!
9.2. Pointing west. When the
weight of the camera setup
tends to rotate the ball-head
in a clockwise direction, the
spring should be tensioned to
one of the castellations,
based on how strong the
imbalance is. By tensioning
the spring in po5
(worst case scenario) a weight
of up to 4kg can be balanced
– i.e. pointing to the zenith
with the camera body
towards the west in respect
to the ball-head.
9.3. Pointing north. The spring can be completely disengaged (position “R”) or let it work at idle (position”1”).
