3.5 Positioning the camera
ÁHold the camera by securing the pan bar.
ÁApply horizontal brake and release vertical brake and tilt
safety lock by pulling out the red knob and turning it
90°.The Green marking on the red knob becomes visi-
ble (rocking the pan bars up and down will facilitate
this).
ÁSelect 0 on the vertical drag adjustment ring.
ÁOpen the lock of the camera sliding balance plate.
On the Video 75 Plus EFP you have to push the red lever
back underneath the balance plate as far as possible.
ÁBy turning the spindle forwards and backwards move
the camera until you have reached a position where
the camera is balanced horizontally. Rear-heavy came-
ras are moved to the front by turning the spindle clock-
wise, front-heavy cameras are moved to the back by
turning the spindle counter clockwise. This will be
easier when the camera is held in a horizontal position.
ÁSecure sliding balance plate with clamping lever
(spindle drive is self-locking, clamping serves to elimi-
nate play).
ÁLock the balance plate on the Video 75 Plus EFP by
pulling the red lever into its initial position.
Caution: If you can’t manage to center the camera, you
should move the camera plate to a different
position on the tripod mounting adapter.
3.6 Adjusting the camera’s counterbalance
ÁHold the camera by securing the pan bar. Turn the
counterbalance knob to that number which best com-
pensates for the weight of the camera.
ÁAfter each spring is released, check if the camera will
remain in a tilted position, without moving upwards or
downwards significantly.
