OPERATION OPERATION Mounting the Video Head to a Tripod Tighten the pan knob, and then rotate the head clockwise onto the tripod’s mounting stud. Tighten the head until secure. CONVERTING THE MOUNTING THREAD For tripods with a 1/4-20 mounting stud, screw the included 3/8-16 to 1/4-20 reducer bushing into the head’s mounting socket.
Warning: Some manufacturers’ quick-release plates do not meet our specifications and may not lock your equipment securely in the Oben TVH-108. Make sure to test any non-Oben camera and lens plates to ensure compatibility.
OPERATION Mounting the Camera 1. Tighten all knobs except the quick-release knob. 2. Slide the guide-pin side of the quick-release plate past the safety lock on the clamp. 3. Adjust the position of the quick- release plate to ensure the best balance for your camera, and tighten the quick-release knob until the plate is secure.
OPERATION Tilt Control 1. Loosen the arm adjust knob to set the arm at the desired angle. Tighten the arm adjust knob until secure. 2. Loosen the tilt lock by turning it counterclockwise to tilt your camera while you’re shooting. When the tilt knob is loosened, a spring-loaded counter balance will allow smoother tilting.
