washers. Tighten the bolts with the spanner provided.

Fitting a camera
7
To fit a camera, proceed as follows:
7.1
Lower the mounting to a convenient working height.
7.2
If not already fitted, install the wedge adaptor in the middle position on the sliding plate
“Repositioning the wedge adaptor” on page 28)
7.3
Attach the wedge to the camera/lens.
7.4
Ensure that the centre lock is engaged
(See “Locking the platform” on page 17)
.
7.5
Slide the wedge adaptor operating lever forward (parallel to the wedge) about 6mm
(1/4 in.) against spring tension. Pull the operating lever out, away from the body of the wedge adaptor,
as far as it will go.
7.6
Insert the camera wedge into the wedge adaptor and push it forward into full engagement. Push
in the operating lever until it lies parallel with the wedge adaptor body. During this operation resistance
of the spring-loaded over-centre mechanism will be felt. As the lever reaches the end of its travel it will
slide back (parallel to the wedge) to the locked position.
NOTE:
When mounted on Vinten ‘Hawk’ or ‘Teal’ pedestals, clearance between the head and the
pedestal weight tray prevents the use of 5.5 lb (1.6 kg) and 1.0 lb (0.47 kg) trim weights.
Use alternative weights or fit the adaptor plate kit (Part No. 3354-900SP) between the head
and pedestal.
WARNING!: Before installing the head, hold a fixing bolt in position and check that the
threaded end does not project more than 18 mm (3/4 in.) above the mounting face
WARNING!: Do not rely on the tilt brake when changing the payload. always engage the
centre lock.
Ensure that the weight and C of G height of the total payload is within the range for
which the head is designed - up to 70 kg (154 lb) with C of G height from 80 mm (3 in.) to
200mm (8 in.) for Vector 700 or 80 mm (3 in.) to 250 mm (10 in.) for Vector 700H.
