Operation

Additional C of G Adjustments

If it is not possible to correctly set the payload C of G using the

standard method:

1 .

Move the camera plate to offset the payload further in the required

direction.

2 .

Use the C.O.G plate (# 1063) which is available as an accessory

for the Touch & Go models.

Adjusting the Counterbalance

The fluid head is equipped with a 15 + 0 step counterbalance adjuster

to accurately balance the payload.

Moving the counterbalance from one setting to another

requires the head to pass the horizontal position to take affect.

1 .

Set the counterbalance adjustment knob to the mid-range setting.

2 .

Tilt the payload approximately 30° in both directions and release

it. If the payload stays in the same position when released, the

payload is correctly balanced.
