of fluid drag is selected. Turn the setting ring to "0" in order
to switch off the drag completely.
The different drag levels can only be felt if the horizontal
and vertical brakes are open. If you apply drag, the degree
of horizontal and vertical drag is identical andthus enables
precise diagonal panning movements without jerks and
vibrations.
Make sure that you always turn the setting to the next
indexed position. Engage the retainer pins by slowly
panning or tilting the camera.
ATTENTION:
Panning or tilting the camera with settings between the
indexed positions can damage the retainer pins and/or
disks.

The horizontal brake applies the lock for the pan and the
vertical brake for the tilt movement. Both brakes are free
off vibrations and can be used during shooting.

The illumination is powered by one standard type button

be opened with a sharp object such as a screwdriver.
Make sure to insert the new batteries according to the

To ensure smooth operation of the setting rings for the
drag over the long life time period of the fluid head, you
should turn both setting rings from position “0” to maximum
position, before and after the use of the fluid head.
