Balancing the Payload
Before operating the fluid head, the payload (camera, lens and any
other fitted accessories) must be correctly balanced to ensure safe
and reliable operation.
!
WARNING! When balancing the payload, it is
important to be aware of the potential danger that an
unbalanced payload will fall away suddenly. Maintain
a firm hold on the payload until the balance is set
correctly.
!
WARNING! Risk of finger entrapment. Do not place
fingers between the platform and the body of the fluid
head.
!
CAUTION! Always hold the pan bar when making
adjustments to the counterbalance or camera position.
!
CAUTION! The camera, pan bars and all accessories
must be fitted in their operational position before
balancing the head. Any equipment fitted or adjusted
later can unbalance the fluid head.
Adjusting the Centre of Gravity (C of G)
Before adjusting the counterbalance, the centre of gravity (C of G) of
the payload must be centred precisely over the axis of the fluid head.
Ensure that the head is level before balancing.
1 .
Apply the vertical brake and adjust the vertical setting of the fluid
drag to “0”. Set the counterbalance adjustment knob to “1”. Note
moving the counterbalance from one setting to another requires the
head to pass the horizontal position to take affect.
