    3.Counterbalance Control The counterbalance system was designed to neutralise the effect of the camera weight when it is tilted. The T8 Fluid Head offers a 8 position counterbalance system which is operated with the Counterbalance (CB) SELECTOR. With the T6 systems it is also possible to disengage counterbalance (position zero), NOTE: Be careful when disengaging counterbalance as you could damage your equipment with an unwanted tilt drop.

    4.Pan/Tilt Drag Control The T8 Fluid Head offers selectable positions of fluid drag in the Pan and Tilt (including zero positions). The settings are equally stepped from lighter drag in position 1 up to heavier drag in position 3, the drag plates are completely disengaged in position zero.

    The independent pan lock is horizontally turning to secure the pan position, intuitively differentiate from the ver- tically turning tilt lock, preventing any potential misuse. STRUCTURAL MATERIAL: Alloy SCG T8 is built to be durable with 99% of its parts made by alloy or other durable metals.
  • Page 5 OTHER USER-FRIENDLY FEATURES: Dual replaceable rosettes SCG's dual rosette is separate from the head and easily replaceable, significantly extending the service life of the video fluid head.
