distance remains constant, the more accurate the "Nodal Point" positioning.
3. For optimum results, make minor adjustments by moving Sliding
Plates "S" and "P".
Once the right position is achieved it is possible to memorise it by noting the
positions of the two Sliding Plates "S" and "P" on the indexes on the two
graduated scales.
CHOICE OF ANGLE OF ROTATION
Unscrew locking knob "W" or remove it completely if you do not need (it must be
used to completely stop rotation when the head is used in non-vertical position, or
to avoid any accidental movement of the head in any position).
Decide the number of shots or angle of rotation between each shot, dependent on
lens angle from the chart below.

• Screw knob "F" into the selected setting holes "G".
• Release locking lever "H" and rotate the camera on top plate "V" to the position
of the first shot.
• Hold the camera in position and rotate the central barrel "L" until the first "click
stop" is reached, then lock lever "H".
• Take the first shot and then rotate the camera to the next "click stop" without
releasing "H" and take the next shot.
Continue this process until the start position is reached.
The base of the head "T" has graduated scale markings from 0 to 360° and a
reference index "U" on the central barrel "L". This is to be used to set angles not
on the chart. To use the head in this way, unlock knob "F" to disengage the "click
stop" during rotation of central barrel "L" and use the locking knob "W" to lock the
position during shooting.
