To use the head correctly, level the head on the tripod (you can use both tripods
with flat attachment or levelling bowl) using the spirit level "J" (fig. 9)
The head features 360° pan and vertical tilt (+90°/-60°) which are controlled
using the pan bar "A"
- The pan movement can be locked using the knob "V" and it has an adjustable
additional friction control: screwing the knob "X" the friction increases.
- The tilt movement can be locked using the knob "U" and it has an adjustable
additional friction control: screwing the knob "T" the friction increases.
- The head is provided with a spring loaded counter balance system "B"
(ON/OFF) to help to support the camera weight.
The head can be used with or without counter balance system.
Note: The position of the locking knobs "M" (fig. 7) and "V" (fig.9) can be
modified by unscrewing the screw at the edge of the knob, with a 2,5mm tool
(not supplied), extracting the knob and reinserting it rotated 1/6 of turn in a
more comfortable position.
