Using The Ball Head
The ball head is very compact and easy to use, and offers solid
camera support with fluid smooth movements. It features a
single ball-locking knob (D) with an adjustable drag control
screw (E), and a separate pan-control lock (C). The calibrated
panning scale (F) allows you to reference any movements. There
is a convenient slot on the ball head that allows you to change
your camera from horizontal to vertical format. To alter the
position of your camera, simply turn the signal ball-locking knob
counterclockwise. The further you turn the knob, the looser the
friction on the ball becomes, allowing you quicker and larger
movements.
You can increase or decrease the amount of friction on the
ball with the adjustable drag control screw. First, turn the single
ball-locking knob (D) clockwise to fully lock ball. Then rotate the
adjustable drag control screw (E) clockwise to increase friction,
or counterclockwise to decrease. Test your setting by loosening
the single ball-locking knob. you may need to repeat this
procedure to find the desired setting when changing equipment.
Noted: Always support the camera while loosening the signal
ball locking knob. Be sure the signal ball-locking knob is fully
locked after setting the adjustable drag control screw. Do not
overtighten knobs.
