To check camera balance:
Reduce tilt drag to a minimum level by turning the tilt adjustment control
(11)
in an counter-
clockwise direction.
Reduce the counter-balance a minimum level by turning the perfect balance control
(3)
in
a clockwise direction.
Release the tilt brake
(12)
by turning the lever in a counter-clockwise direction.
Turn the perfect balance control
(3)
counter-clockwise until the head falls away from the
horizontal under the weight of the camera and payload.
Tilt the head backwards and forwards to determine if the camera position is equally
balanced in both directions. The camera and payload must be positioned over the centre of
gravity.
If the camera is not positioned over the centre of gravity, set the platform level and apply
the tilt brake
(12)
. Position the camera correctly on the head by releasing the slide plate
clamp
(13)
and then sliding the camera (on the camera slide plate) backwards or forwards
WARNING!
1.
1. Do NOT exceed the maximum capacity of either the head or the
tripod. The system will become unstable and may fail.
2.
Always support the camera payload when disengaging the
counter-balance (Perfect Balance control) mechanism to prevent
it falling away suddenly.
3.
Keep hands clear of the moving platform to avoid trapping
fingers.
WARNING!
Steady the camera payload using the pan bar. Be prepared to prevent the
head falling away suddenly.
