Applying 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 control (11) is located on the left-hand side of the head
and the pan drag control (7) is located at the back of the head, beneath the camera mounting plat-
form.
To increase tilt drag:
Turn the tilt drag control (11) in a clockwise direction (downward).
To decrease tilt drag:
Turn the tilt drag control (11) in a counter-clockwise direction (upward).
To increase pan drag:
Turn the pan drag control (7) in a counter-clockwise direction (left to right).
To decrease pan drag:
Turn the pan drag control (7) in a clockwise direction (right to left).
NOTE: The whip-pan facility is not affected by the pan drag setting.
CAUTION! Reduce drag to a minimum when the head is out of use for long periods, to
minimize wear on drag components.
