Balancing the Head and payload
Ensure that the Head and camera cradle are level before balancing. When the Head is correctly balanced, the
robotic drives will need the minimum amount of even effort to move the Head. A correctly balanced Head and
payload can be set to any tilt position and the Head will maintain that position hand’s off.
It is important that the camera and payload (lens, viewfinder, teleprompter, pan bars and so on) including
cables are fitted in their operational positions before balancing the Head. Any equipment fitted or adjusted later
can unbalance the Head.
