Before adjusting the counterbalance of the camera, the
center of gravity of the camera must be centered preci-
sely over the axis of the fluid head
.

Lock the vertical brake, adjust the vertical setting of the
fluid damping to “0” and adjust the knob for the coun-
terbalance
setting also to “0”.

Secure the camera with one hand and open the verti-
cal brake.
Á
Should the camera be front or back heavy open the
lock of the cameraplate/balanceplate (undo red wing
screw slightly on the side of the fluid head; keep the
camera secured with one hand). Centre the camera
weight and compensate for a backheavy setup by
sl i-
ding the cameraplate/balanceplate forwards and for a
frontheavy setup by sliding backwards. The camera
should remain in the horizontal position.

Lock the cameraplate/balanceplate by turning the red
wing screw clockwise and tighten it.
