Pan and tilt brakes
Brakes on each axis allow the head to be locked at any chosen position. The operating lever for
the pan brake (11) is at the rear of the head. The tilt brake (4) is operated by a lever on the left-
hand side of the head.
To apply the brake, turn the lever fully clockwise. To release the brake, turn the lever counter-
clockwise.
Pan and tilt drag
Both the pan and tilt mechanisms incorporate a fluid drag system to ensure smooth movement of
the camera about these axes.
The tilt drag adjustment knob (8) is on the right -hand side of the head, the pan drag knob (17) is
on the top of the body.
To increase drag, turn the appropriate knob clockwise. To decrease drag, turn the knob counter-
clockwise.
WARNING! When the brakes are not in use, always turn the levers counter-
clockwise.
DO NOT use the brakes to supplement drag.
NOTE: Reduce drag to a minimum when the head is out of use for long periods.
