Additional C of G Adjustments
If it is not possible to correctly set the payload C of G using the
standard method:
1 .
Move the camera plate to offset the payload further in the required
direction.
2 .
Use the C.O.G plate (# 1063) which is available as an accessory
for the Touch & Go models.
Adjusting the Counterbalance
The fluid head is equipped with a 15 + 0 step counterbalance adjuster
to accurately balance the payload.
Moving the counterbalance from one setting to another
requires the head to pass the horizontal position to take affect.

Set the counterbalance adjustment knob to the mid-range setting.
2 .
Tilt the payload approximately 30° in both directions and release
it. If the payload stays in the same position when released, the
payload is correctly balanced.
