Converting the base 

Spares kits are available to convert the head from ball base to flat base versions and vice versa. 

Kit 3525-900SP comprises a ball base, bowl clamp and fixing hardware; while kit 3525-901SP has 
a flat base, mounting bolts, and washers, a spanner and fixing hardware.

To change the base:

Remove the camera from the head.

On the base, remove four screws 

(17.1)

 and separate the base 

(17)

 from the head.

Position the replacement base on the head and secure with four screws 

(17.1)

, using Loc-

tite 222E.

Brake knob and drag control knob adjustment

The pan and tilt brake and drag controls may require adjustment after prolonged use. These ad-
justments should be carried out by competent persons as detailed in the Maintenance Manual. 
The Maintenance Manual may be obtained from Vinten Broadcast Limited or your local Vinten dis-
tributor or from our website at www.vinten.com.
