Vision blue pan and tilt head *OUSPEVDUJPO BOE EFTDSJQUJPO The Vision blue pan and tilt head has been designed to support and perfectly balance a range of professional digital video cameras. The head embodies an adjustable spring counter balancing mechanism, LF drag assemblies for pan and tilt motions and an adjustable camera mounting plate with 1/4 in. screw and pin assembly.
Operators guide *MMVNJOBUFE MFWFM CVCCMF Levelling the head is achieved using the level bubble (15) that can be illuminated when setting up at locations with low lighting levels. In situations of low light, the level bubble can be illuminated by pressing the push button (12). The bubble will be illuminated for 15 seconds. The battery for the illuminated bubble is contained within a battery compartment (10) located under the platform.
Vision blue pan and tilt head 0QFSBUJPO Fitting the pan bar A single pan bar is supplied and is fitted to either the right or left-hand side of the head onto the pan bar mounting (16).

A second pan bar can be fitted to the other side of the head if required.
Operators guide Attach the slide plate (2) to the camera or camera mounting plate under the approximate centre of the camera’s weight using the 1/4 in. screw and pin assembly (1).
