Using the ProMaster GH25K Gimbal Pan Kit
This kit includes two heads, the PH25 Panoramic head and the GH25 Gimbal head. They can be used
independently or together as follows.
Using the PH25 Panoramic Head
Mount the PH25 to your tripod using its threaded 3/8” mounting hole. If your tripod has a locking screw
in its mounting platform, tighten it to securely hold the PH25 in place.
Attach the 8020 quick release plate to your camera or lens using its1/4-20 screw. A small folding handle
on the head of the screw can be used for tightening or an allen key can be inserted into the screw head.
Before connecting your camera to the PH25 head use the bubble level in the top of the PH25 while
adjusting your tripod to obtain a perfectly level stance.
Open the jaws of the PH25’s quick release receiver by loosening the large round, knurled knob at its top.
Affix your camera by aligning the 8020 plate with the PH25’s top quick release receiver. Tighten the
round, knurled top knob to securely hold your camera to the head.
You can freely pan your camera by loosening the red-winged knob near the top of the PH25 and rotating
your camera. Tighten the winged knob before taking a picture.
For precise camera positioning you can use the smaller, knurled round knob located in the lower portion
of the PH25. Loosening this knob will allow the PH25 to rotate from its base. Notice the 5 holes in the
side of the PH25 appearing in a stepped pattern. A small knob with a silver center is located in one of
these holes. It can be unscrewed, removed, and then replaced into any of the 5 holes.
Each hole has two numbers located below it. The first number indicates how many click-stops the head
will have when rotated once a full 360 degrees. The second number indicates the degrees of rotation
achieved when the head is moved one click-stop.
For example: With the small knob installed in the 5-72 position you can rotate the PH25 until it clicks
once. This is 72 degrees from its original position. Rotate the head 4 more clicks (for a total of 5) and
you have returned to the original position 360 degrees from where it began. (5 x 72 = 360)
Note: it is best to remove and install the small screw while the knurled round knob is loose.
