Operation

Adjusting the Drags

The fluid head is equipped with horizontal and vertical drag controls.

The drags help to eliminate jerks and vibrations when moving the fluid

head during filming. The drags can also be fully disengaged.

!

CAUTION!

Always set the drag adjusters to the index

positions. Setting the drag adjusters between index positions

can cause serious damage to the fluid head.

1 .

Turn the horizontal and vertical drag controls to the required index

position by aligning the arrow with the dot marker. Turn the brakes

off and engage the drag by slowly panning or tilting the camera.

2 .

Turn the drag controls to the

0

position to switch off the drag

completely.

Applying the same drag setting to the horizontal and vertical

controls enables precise and even diagonal movement.
