Pan and tilt drag
26 Both the pan and tilt mechanisms incorporate a fluid drag system to ensure smooth movement of the
camera about these axes.
27 The tilt drag adjustment knob (3) is on the left -hand side of the head, the pan drag knob (14) is on the
top of the body, beneath the platform.
28 To increase drag, turn the appropriate knob clockwise. To decrease drag, turn the knob counter-
clockwise.
Optional equipment
Carrying strap
29 A carrying strap (34) (Fig 2.3) (Part No. 3425-3P) is available as an optional accessory and is installed
as follows:
29.1 On the lower moulding of the leg with the strap, drive in the 'knock-out' (25.1) using a suitable
tool. If possible, remove the blank from inside the moulding to prevent subsequent rattle.
29.2 Push a blind captive nut (34.4) into the hole in the lower moulding.
29.3 Using a suitable M5 screw, fully compress the blind captive nut. Remove the M5 screw.
29.4 Install a washer (34.3) on the lower strap anchor (34.2) and screw into the captive nut (34.4).
Ensure that the hole in the strap anchor is oriented so that the karabiner (34.1) can be attached.
29.5 On the underside of the tripod bowl (20), remove and discard the screw (34.5) securing the
corresponding leg clamp (20.2). Do not remove the washer (20.1).
29.6 Position the bowl strap anchor (34.6) on the leg clamp, ensuring it is correctly oriented. Using
Loctite 221, secure the bowl strap anchor with the 25 mm M6 screw (34.5) supplied with the strap.
Tighten screw to a torque of 4.5 Nm (40 lbf in.).
29.7 Using the karabiners (34.1), clip the strap (34) to the strap anchors and adjust to length.
NOTE: Reduce drag to a minimum when the head is out of use for long periods.
