Operation
Counterbalance Adjustment
2 . If the platform stops in a horizontal position (camera pointing
directly forward) or falls away evenly in either direction, the balance
is correct. Hold the pan bar firmly, disengage the vertical brake.
Observe how the payload moves and where it stops.
3 . If the payload falls away in either direction:
(a) Unlock the sliding balance plate by unscrewing the balance
plate adjuster on the balance plate.
(b) If the payload tilts backwards (points up), slide it towards the
front of the fluid head. Re-lock the sliding balance plate.
(c) If the payload tilts forwards (points down), slide it towards the
rear of the fluid head. Re-lock the sliding balance plate.
(d) Re-check the movement of the payload. If further adjustments
are required, repeat steps 1 to 3 .
