Operation

Installing the head on a tripod

The Vision 100 head is supplied with an integral ball mount and is designed for installation on a
compatible Vinten Vision tripod.
Adaptors are available which enable the heads to be installed on tripods or pedestals fitted with
other mountings. These are listed under 'Optional Accessories'.
To install the head, remove the bowl clamp assembly (4) from the head, position the head on the
tripod and refit the bowl clamp assembly from below. Level the head with the aid of the level bub-
ble (15) and tighten the bowl clamp. The level bubble may be illuminated by pressing the switch
(13). The light will extinguish after 15 seconds.

Mounting the camera (3/8 in. mounting screws)

Remove the slide plate (9) from the head by releasing the slide plate clamp (10), pressing the slide
lock release (8) and pulling the plate out to the rear.
Attach the slide plate to the camera or camera mounting plate under the approximate centre of
the camera's weight using both mounting screws (2).
Set the platform level and apply both the pan and tilt brakes (5)(7).
Push the slide plate and camera into the track in the platform, ensuring the slide lock release (8)
snaps into position.
Balance the head (See Balancing the head).
