If the 2000 Pro leans to the right, then
you will have to loosen up the BRASS
THUMB SCREWS on the bottom of the
BOTTOM PLATE and then gently slide
the MID PLATE over to the left a bit. If
the 2000 Pro leans to the left from the
operators point of view as in Photo # 46,
then move the MID PLATE to the right.
Always secure and firmly tighten the
BRASS THUMB SCREWS after any
adjustment. The side to side horizontal
axis is shown correctly adjusted in Photo
# 45.
After adjusting the side to side balance as
mentioned above you might have to go
back and readjust the front to back balance
to obtain a truly fine balance of the whole
system. You can use your eyes to judge
for correct horizontal balance, or you can
use a very small and lightweight bubble
level (not included) to ensure the 2000 Pro
has correct horizontal balance.
Also, another way of fine tuning the
horizontal balance is to move the COUNTER
WEIGHT DISKS back and forth, or side to
side on the BASE PLATFORM. There are
slots on the BASE PLATFORM to help with
this task. Also, placing the WEIGHT DISKS
away from the CENTER POST on the BASE
PLATFORM will increase panning stability.
Make sure to tighten the WEIGHTS down
after you move them.
NOTE: The Horizontal Balance of the
2000 Pro becomes less sensitive, as the
2000 Pro becomes increasingly bottom
heavy, and conversely, the horizontal
balance becomes very sensitive, as the
2000 Pro progresses towards correct
vertical balance (see next section).
