Fore/Aft Balance
Ensure that the head is level before balancing. The camera and
payload should be fitted on the head, so that the load is
balanced. This can be achieved by moving the camera
forwards (Fore) or backwards (Aft) on the cradle.
WARNING! When balancing the payload, it is
important to be aware of the potential danger that an
unbalanced payload will fall away suddenly. Maintain a
firm hold on the payload until the balance is set
correctly.
CAUTION! The camera, handles and all accessories
must be fitted in their operational position before
balancing the head. Any equipment fitted or adjusted
later can unbalance the head.
WARNING! The payload balancing procedure requires
the assistance of another person.
Turn the counterbalance crank to set the
counterbalance to 50%.
Set the tilt fluid drag adjustment knob to 0.

Depending on the payload weight, it may be necessary to
increase or decrease this setting to enable the payload to
be correctly balanced fore and aft.
