Operating The Pan And Tilt Drag - Vinten Vision blue3 Operator's Manual

English

Operating the pan and tilt drag

Both the pan and tilt mechanisms incorporate the Vinten LF system to ensure smooth movement
of the camera about these axes. The tilt drag adjustment knob [5] is located at the front of the
head on the right-hand side and the pan drag adjustment knob [13] is located on the rear of the
head. Both drag adjustment knobs are provided with graduated scales.
NOTE: The whip-pan facility is not affected by the pan drag setting.
To increase drag, turn the adjustment knob towards a higher graduation.
To decrease drag, turn the adjustment knob towards a lower graduation.
CAUTION! Reduce drag to a minimum when the head is out of use for long periods,
to minimise wear on drag components.
