Tilt Direcon Switch
When the Pan-Tilt Head is used on a Tripod or Jib.
When the head is shied from Jib to Tripod, it needs reversal of direcon as the locaon of head
will be inverted. By switching “on” the lt direcon switch, we can immediately reverse the
direcon. So, when the joysck is moved to the right, it gives right rotaon as it gives while
mounted on the tripod directly.
Pan Direcon Switch
When the Pan-Tilt Head is used on a Tripod or Jib.
When the head is shied from Jib to Tripod, it needs reversal of direcon as the locaon of head
will be inverted. By switching “on” the pan direcon switch, we can immediately reverse the
direcon. So, when the joysck is moved to the right, it gives right rotaon as it gives while
mounted on the tripod directly.
Damping Knob
Damping is the ability to control the "damping" eect of joysck interface with pan/lt acon of
the head being controlled. It does not maer what head you are using; the damping eect is a
characterisc of joysck output.
Balancing
Balancing the camera on head is crical for smooth operaon.
 Find the horizontal balance point of your camera by using two ngers of one hand while hold-
ing the handle with other hand.
 Mark this point on the side of camera with chalk or tape.
 Turn the unit on and move lt control unl the camera plate is vercal.
 Loosen the two screws holding lt motor (Do Not Remove).
 Grasp the motor and turn slightly to disengage gears.
 Mount the camera onto camera plate with the screw provided.
 Tighten by threading the nut up to the boom of camera plate securely.
 Make sure your balance point previously marked with chalk or tape is in the middle of plate.
 Loosen the knob below camera plate and slide the camera and plate up or down unl the
center line of your camera is about in the middle of large gear. Now ghten the knob.
 If the camera is perfectly balanced it will stay in any posion while motor gear is sll un-
aached.
