Balancing Tips

Follow these steps to balance the head:-

Find the horizontal balance point of your camera by using 2 fingers of one handing while holding the
handle.

Mark this point on the side of the camera with chalk or tape.

Turn the unit on and move the tilt control until the camera plate is vertical.

Loosen the two screws holding tilt motor.

Grasp the motor and turn slightly to disengage gears.

Mount the camera to the camera plate with the screw provided.

Tighten by threading the nut up to the bottom of the camera plate securely.

Make sure your balance point previously marked with chalk or tape is in the middle of the plate.

Loosen the knob below the camera plate and slide the camera and plate up or down until the center
line of your camera is about in the middle of the large gear. Now tighten knob.

If the camera is perfectly balanced it will stay in any position while motor gear is still unattached.

Grasp the motor and turn it back until the gears mesh.

Gently tighten motor screws.

Secure the camera.
NOTE: All reduction boxes have a small amount of backlash. The balancing of the camera will reduce the
backlash to a minimum making it felt at the top of the tilt arc.
