Thank you for choosing Magnus.
The Magnus VPH-10P three-way pan and tilt head
is a compact, lightweight, and durable head that’s
ideal for photographers and videographers on
the go. In addition to adjustable pan and tilt for
video production, the VPH-10P features vertical
camera positioning between landscape and portrait
orientation for still photography. The fluid cartridge
drag system has adjustable pan and tilt controls that
assure steady and smooth panning and tilting for
both rapid and slow camera moves.

Attaching the VPH-10P to Your Tripod
1The VPH-10P has a 3/8-16 tripod mount.
To mount the head to a tripod with a
1/4-20 stud, use the included reducer
bushing. Screw the bushing into the
tripod mount before you attach it to the tripod.
2Attach the head to
the tripod by screwing
it into the tripod’s
mounting stud. If
you’re using a very
small tripod, you may
find it easier to hold the
VPH-10P steady and
screw on the tripod.
Mounting Your Camera on the VPH-10P
1To unlock the quick-release plate, push the quick-
release lever away from the quick-release plate, and
slide the plate out of the quick-release mechanism.
2Use the thumbscrew on the quick-release plate to
attach it to your camera. Make sure the thumbscrew
is flush against the bottom of the plate.

3Replace the plate (with the
camera) into the VPH-10P.
Be sure to position the plate so
the lens faces away from the grip
handle.
The quick-release pate (VT-QRP20) is available separately.
Attach a quick-release plate to all of your cameras in order to
rapidly and easily swap them during a shoot.
Using the VPH-10P
There are three controls that adjust your camera’s position
and orientation and lock it into place.
1The pan-lock knob controls
the panning movement
of the camera. Turn
clockwise to tighten, and
counterclockwise to loosen
the tension.
2The tilt lock knob controls
the tilting movement.
Turning it clockwise
tightens the tension until it
locks completely. Turning
counterclockwise loosens
it for greater freedom of
motion.
3The vertical lock quickly
changes your camera’s
orientation from landscape
to portrait. Turn the lock
counterclockwise to
loosen the horizontal lock
and change orientation.
Turn it clockwise to tighten and lock in your camera’s
orientation.

4For tightening or
adjusting the pan handle,
use the knob on the front
of the VPH-10P. Rotate
counterclockwise to
loosen and adjust, and
clockwise to tighten.
Unmounting Your Camera from the VPH-10P
1Push the quick-release lever away from the quick-
release plate, and hold it in that position. Lift up the
edge of the quick release plate, and slide it out of the
quick-release mechanism.
2Loosen the thumbscrew on the bottom of the plate,
and remove your camera.
