Installation

HD Tripod Mounting Options

The FH-145/FHR-145 pan and tilt head can be mounted onto
the following heavy-duty (HD) tripods:

Ÿ

Vinten HDT-1 single-stage tripod

Ÿ

Vinten HDT-2 two-stage tripod

Ÿ

Sachtler OB2000 aluminium tripod

Mount the head to the HD tripod using either a Mitchell Centre
Screw (spider adaptor) and key or a Vinten Quickfix® adaptor.

WARNING! Engage the tilt lock before lifting or
working on the head.

For manual operation, mount the pan bar assembly to the
camera cradle. Offset pan bars increase the range of
movement and improve manoeuverability of large and unwieldy
payloads. The pan bar assembly can be mounted on the left- or
right-hand side of the camera cradle.

1.

Fit the pan bar assembly

to the cradle. Insert rods
into openings ensuring
they cross at least two
mounting points.

2.

Tighten the screws

underneath the openings
to secure the assembly.

3.

Attach the pan bars to

the rosette mountings.

CAUTION! Do not attempt to manually switch the pan
or tilt control switch to AUTO. Robotic mode must be
initiated from the control panel.
