FH/FHR-145 Pan and Tilt Head
Installation
Balancing the Head
4. Tighten the bolts securing the camera to the cradle and
recheck the horizontal balance. Readjust if necessary.
Adjusting the Centre of Gravity (C of G)
3. Reposition the camera as required on the camera cradle and
secure in position. The horizontal balance is correct when
the camera cradle comes to rest in a horizontal position.
If the camera cradle tilts backwards (points upward), then the
camera must be moved towards the front of the head (fore).
1. Tilt the camera approx. 30°
upward and release it.
If the camera stays in the
same position when
released, the payload is
correctly balanced with the
C of G on the tilt axis.
CAUTION! Risk of damage to equipment. Be prepared
to prevent the camera and camera cradle from falling
away suddenly.
If the camera
continues to move
upwards after
releasing the
camera cradle, the
payload is mounted
too high—lower the
camera cradle.
