1 Fluid Head Set-up

1.1 Loosen the PAN HANDLE CLAMP fully then rotate the

PAN HANDLE until it is approximately perpendicular to the

then unwind the PAN HANDLE CLAMP further.

Place the Fluid Head into the TRIPOD BOWL, adjust the

BUBBLE LEVEL (fig. 4) such that the bubble is inside the

black circle and tighten the CLAMP NUT.

• Select Counterbalance to position 4 (top setting).
