Both the pan and tilt mechanisms incorporate OConnor's ultra smooth fluid drag to ensure
smooth movement. The pan drag adjustment knob is located on the lower left rear of the head
with its indicator wheel on the left side of the head, and the tilt drag adjustment knob on the lower
rear-right side of the head with its indicator wheel on the right side end cover. Both controls are
continuously adjustable from 0 to 9.
Pan and Tilt Locks
Friction locks on each axis allow the head to be locked at any desired position. The pan and tilt
lock levers are on the left-side of the head with the tilt lock above the pan lock for easy and
seamless operation.

illumination button. The light will go out after approximately 20 seconds.
Handle Mounting
Handle mounting rosettes are located at the front and rear of the head, on both the left and right
sides. A telescoping extension handle is supplied and is attached using the handle clamp, with
angular adjustment available on the rosette serrations. Additional handles, including a front
handle, Randal handle and accessories can also be installed.
Camera Mounting Platform
The camera is attached to the head by means of a side loading platform mechanism. The
mechanism is released by sliding the red clamp lock button to the left while pulling out the
platform release lever in a counterclockwise direction. Once the release lever has been rotated
