Camera mounting
7 The camera is attached to the head by means of a slide plate (17), which is provided with a spring-
loaded locating pin (5) and 1/4 in. (6) and 3/8 in. (19) screws. When not in use, the screws are stowed in the
camera mounting platform (7). The slide plate (17) is loaded from above into the side-loading clamp
mechanism, and a clamp (2) is provided to hold the slide plate in position. The release button (1) allows
removal of the slide plate (17) from the head.
Pan bar
8 Pan bar mounting points (16) are located at the rear of the head, on either side of the camera mounting
platform. The pan bar (9) is attached using a pan bar clamp, with angular adjustment available on the mount
serrations. A single fixed pan bar (9) is supplied. A second pan bar may be fitted.
Pozi-Loc tripod
9 The Pozi-Loc two-stage tripod (Fig 1.2) has aluminium legs and a 75 mm levelling bowl (20). It is fitted
with the highly-efficient Pozi-Loc leg clamp (21), which provides quick set-up and easy adjustment.
Tripod spreaders
10 Depending on which Pro-6
HDV
system was purchased, the tripod is supplied with either a floor spreader
(Fig 1.2) or a mid-level spreader (Fig 1.3). Both tripod spreaders increase the rigidity of the tripod.
Pro-6 HDVF system
11 The Pro-6 HDVF system utilizes a floor spreader (Fig 1.2) which, being flexible, compensates for
uneven ground, protects floors and carpets and prevents the tripod legs sinking into soft ground. It should be
used at all times.
12 Each arm is of the spreader is adjustable for length (23) and the tripod feet are secured by rubber
straps (24).
NOTE: Always use the spreader where possible as this increases rigidity of the tripod. Being
flexible, the spreader compensates for uneven ground.
It can be removed and a dolly fitted.
At the fullest extension of the spreader and with all legs fully retracted, the tripod can be
used at its lowest operating height. Although the tripod can be set up lower than this
without the spreader, it is NOT recommended as the tripod geometry becomes unstable
