If you want to mount a heavier camera and lens
combination, you will need to repeat this process,
increasing the tension on the ball by following the
same steps with the new camera/lens combination.
Important: to lower your minimal friction limit,
turn the main locking knob clockwise until it stops,
turn the tension thumbscrew counterclockwise
until it stops, then turn the main locking knob
counterclockwise until the ball moves freely enough
for you to make adjustments.
Warning! Do not force the main locking knob to turn
beyond its stopping point. This leads to “locking up”
or “freezing up” of the main locking knob—you will
be unable to move it. In this condition, the knob is
locked, but the head is loose. To correct this, increase
tension on the ball by rotating the main locking knob
clockwise until the desired degree of tension is achieved.
Release the friction by turning the tension thumbscrew
counterclockwise until it stops. Release tension on the
ball by rotating the main locking knob counterclockwise
until the ball is free.

C. Turn the tension thumbscrew
clockwise until it stops. You
have now set your minimal
friction limit for this particular
camera and lens combination.
The main locking knob will not
t u r n beyond this minimal friction
limit.
