Pan And Tilt Locks
The pan and tilt friction locks are operated by levers on the left of the head.
The locks should be applied whenever the camera/head is left unattended.
Rotate the pan lock lever clockwise (toward the front of the head) to engage
the lock.
Rotate the tilt lock lever counter clockwise (upwards) to engage the lock.
If the lock does not fully engage at the end of the lock lever travel, refer to
“Adjusting The Lock Levers” in the Servicing section below.
Pan And Tilt Fluid Drag
Both the pan and tilt mechanisms incorporate the OConnor ultra smooth fluid
drag system to ensure smooth movement. The pan drag adjustment knob is
located on the lower right rear of the head, and the tilt drag adjustment knob
on the lower left of the head. Both controls are continuously adjustable from 0
to 9. To increase drag, turn the knob clockwise, towards a higher setting. To
decrease drag, turn the knob counter-clockwise, towards a lower setting.
Storing the head
When shooting is finished and the head is to be stored, head settings (i.e.
counterbalance and fluid drag) should be left unchanged. This will reduce
wear on the head's mechanisms and save time on the next shoot.
