OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The Operating Instructions for Arrow series fluid heads are

described in six (6) steps. Please read and understand these

instructions before using this equipment. Do not omit any

step.

1.1 Unscrew the CLAMP NUT from its threaded stud.

1.2 Place the head in your 100mm tripod bowl and re-fit the

CLAMP NUT. Do not tighten CLAMP NUT.

1.3 Level the fluid head by centering the bubble in the

BUBBLE LEVEL. Then tighten the CLAMP NUT.

1.4 In low light conditions the BUBBLE LEVEL can be

illuminated by pressing the ILLUMINATION BUTTON.

1.5 Note: If adjusting the level with your camera mounted,

first ensure the camera is securely held before loosening

CLAMP NUT.

2 MOUNT YOUR CAMERA

Arrow is equipped with a sliding platform for balance fine

tuning, plus a quick-release camera plate and standard camera

mounting screws (Arrow and Arrow 30 have 70mm sliding

range, Arrow HD has 100mm sliding range). Please note that

best camera control can be achieved by balancing the camera

centre of gravity (C of G) over the centre axis of the head.

2.1 Lock the PAN and TILT LOCKS (rotate both levers clockwise

until firm).

2.2 Remove the CAMERA PLATE by pulling downwards on the

SAFETY TAB while rotating the QUICK RELEASE to the left

until it reaches the automatic stop position (the CAMERA

PLATE will pop up).

2.3 With accessories and battery fitted, determine your

camera’s C of G by the best method available (Eg: balance

the camera on a rod or similar to find balance point).

2.4 Attach the CAMERA PLATE over the C of G by fastening

the 3/8” + 1/4” CAMERA SCREWS into your camera’s base

or ‘tripod adaptor plate’. These screws should be

tightened evenly and as far apart as possible to prevent

any movement between your camera and the fluid head.

N.B. Arrow 30 is also supplied with a 1/4” screw & pin

carriage (Cat#493) for direct attachment to MiniDV

camcorders which do not require a tripod adaptor plate.

When attaching the camera carriage to a camcorder,

ensure the carriage’s locating pin fits comfortably into the

camcorder socket, then screw the 1/4” screw clockwise

until the camera plate is attached firmly to the camcorder.

Warning: If the carriage pin does not easily fit into the

camcorder socket, DO NOT force it. Contact Miller or your

nearest authorised dealer for specific advice relating to

your camcorder model.

2.5 Attach your camera to the fluid head by holding your

camera slightly ‘lens down’ and place the attached

CAMERA PLATE under the front lip on the top of the

SLIDING PLATFORM. Lower the back of the camera until

the QUICK RELEASE snaps automatically to the locked

position. Ensure the QUICK RELEASE knob is firmly seated.

2.6 To ensure a successful mount, grip the PAN HANDLE firmly

and then disengage the PAN and TILT LOCKS. Your camera

should be firmly attached with no obvious free movement.

3 CENTRE YOUR CAMERA ON THE HEAD

3.1 With your camera attached to the fluid head, hold the PAN

HANDLE and release the TILT LOCK.

3.2 Turn the TILT DRAG CONTROL knob to position ‘0’. Turn

the COUNTERBALANCE SELECTOR knob to position ‘1’.

3.3 Release the SLIDE LOCK lever and slide your camera

forward or backward until balanced over the centre axis of

fluid head. If necessary, be prepared to stop your

camera sliding suddenly. Your camera will remain

static when balanced.

3.4 Re-engage the SLIDE LOCK and TILT LOCK by

turning clockwise until firm.

4 COUNTERBALANCE YOUR CAMERA

The Arrow 30, Arrow and Arrow HD include a variable

counterbalance system that provides fingertip control through

its tilt range and allows the camera to be set at any angle

within that range. The counterbalance control can be set in

one of four (4) positions depending on your camera payload.

4.1 Hold the PAN HANDLE and release the TILT LOCK.

4.2 Rotate the counterbalance control knob to setting ‘1’ or ‘2’

for light payloads, ‘3’ or ‘4’ for heavy or off-set payloads.

4.3 Tilt the camera through its tilt range. Loosen hold on the

PAN HANDLE to check that your camera remains static in a

tilted position. If the camera moves from its tilted position,

return the camera to the horizontal position and turn the

COUNTERBALANCE SELECTOR knob to a higher or lower

setting. Tilt through the range again and repeat this test

until the camera remains static in both tilted forward and

tilted backward positions.

Note: If accessories are added or removed, re-balance can be

achieved by adjusting the COUNTERBALANCE SELECTOR,

and/or adjusting the SLIDING PLATFORM position, or by re-

positioning the CAMERA PLATE on your camera’s base or

‘tripod base plate’.

MAINTENANCE

5.1 Arrow heads provide seven (7) incremental settings for tilt

and pan drag control as well as a zero (0) freewheeling

position. There are no half stops. When changing drag

settings, pan and tilt movements must be stopped. There

is an endstop between Position 7 and Zero. This eliminates

the risk of moving the control clockwise from ‘7’ to ‘0’ and

the potential risk of the payload falling forward.

5.2 To achieve smooth diagonal movement, ensure that tilt

and pan drag controls are on similar settings.

For low light conditions, Arrow heads provide illumination of

the bubble level, the pan and tilt drag settings and pan and

tilt knob indicators.

6.1 Press the ILLUMINATION BUTTON to illuminate these

features. You do not need to hold it down. All the above

features will remain illuminated for 10 seconds, then will

switch OFF automatically.

With the exception of external surface cleaning and battery

replacement, Arrow heads do not require additional

maintenance.

Miller Authorised Service Agents must carry out all service and

repair work. Failure to observe this requirement may void

warranty.
