3 Operation
3.1 Intended Use
This fluidhead was developed to enable pan- and tilt move-
ments of cameras. The maximum payload is specified in
chapter 4.
3.2 Moving of the pan bar
Open the clamping screw (black wing screw) of the pan bar
and move the pan bar into the desired position. Close the
clamping screw of the pan bar. During transportation the
pan bar can be moved next to the tripod legs.
Caution: Open the clamping screw of the pan bar far enough.
The teeth of the pan bar clamp should not clatter while moving
the pan bar. However, a plastic protector prevents against
wear of the metal toothed ring. Make sure that the teeth inter-
leave with each other when closing the clamping lever of the
pan bar.
Use of the enclosed pan bar on the left side of the fluid head is
also possible. The pan bar has to be removed from the head
and the black plastic cap on its top should be opened and
removed with a coin or screw driver. The toothed clamp should
be removed and relocated. The plastic cap needs to be tighte-
ned again.
