Accessories

The head is supplied with standard accessories (Fig. 4) used when mounting the head onto a
tripod or pedestal mounting plate.

Optional accessories available for use with the head include the Vinten heavy-duty Quickfix
adaptor (part no. 3490-3) that allows operators to easily and quickly mount and remove the head
from a pedestal or tripod, and an intermediate plate (part no. 3384-11) used to raise the camera
on the camera cradle, thereby adjusting the camera Centre of Gravity (C of G). (See Parts list
on page 35 for details.)

Mounting the head

The head has a standard Vinten four-hole mounting plate [14]. The head can be mounted onto a
pedestal—typically the Fusion FP-188 pedestal—or a Vinten heavy-duty tripod.

Place the head onto the pedestal or tripod mounting plate and, ensuring that the head will not fall,
secure using the four fixing bolts and washers supplied. Use the Vinten spanner to tighten the
fixing bolts.

Alternatively, the head can be mounted using a Quickfix base, to facilitate a quick change of the
head.

mounting plate face.

CAUTION!

Do not overtighten the bolts. The head could be damaged.
