SETUP
Head Mounting
Install by screwing the head clockwise onto
the 3/8" mounting thread of the top plate of the
Tripod or Monopod. Once it is hand tight,secure
by fully tightening the Head Locking Screw(s)
(on select models) from below.
OPERATION
The single-action Ball Locking Lever controls
all movements of the BHS-Series Ballheads.
When released, the Ballhead and the Mounting
Platform can move freely within a 360° rotational
adjustment. And a U-shaped opening provides
90° angular movement of the Mounting Platform.
Quick Release Plate
The BHS-Series Ballheads incorporate a Quick
Release Plate system. It offers a quick method of
mounting or releasing a Camera or Equipment
from the Head. It’s important that the correct
Quick Release Plate be used along with the
proper mounting screw (a spare 1/4–20 plate
is available as an accessory). Extra Plates are
recommended as you can screw one to each
Camera or Lens for even greater convenience
when rapidly mounting and dismounting gear.
Quick Release Locking Lever
(FIGURES 1, 2 & 3)
When used properly, the patented Dual Lock
Quick Release system offers two levels of
security for your gear. To remove the Quick
Release Plate, squeeze both the Plate Locking
Lever and the Security Locking Lever and pull
the larger Locking Lever out. The Quick Release
Plate will disengage allowing it to be removed.
To reconnect the Quick Release Plate, insert the
angled part of the Plate into the groove on the
opposite side of the Locking Levers and press
down flat. The Locking Levers will automatically
engage the locking system and will return to
the safety lock position. Press the Plate Locking
Lever in firmly to secure.
