PREFACE
FLUID HEAD
Thank you for purchasing E-IMAGE professional heads and
tripods. This manual is an important tool for personnel who
operate and maintain this equipment. Inside, you will
find detailed information about E-IMAGE tripods and
heads, and their proper use. We highly recommend you read
the manual carefully and familiarize yourself with each
section. There is also a section about safety and
maintenance to help you keep your equipment in perfect
condition and extend its life.
Please keep this manual for reference while operating and
maintaining your equipment.
The E-IMAGE GENTING Series is an upgraded generation
of E-Image fluid heads with international
influences, innovative designs, and more advanced
functions. We refined the counterbalance and drag
systems, making balancing faster and simpler. This new
series can handle a wider payload range, from 8.8 to 55
pounds, and works with many different styles of camera. Pan
handles with rubber grips are included for precise camera
movements and are extendable in some models. Each
head also has an installed bubble level, and advanced
heads have an LED light installed for making
adjustments in the dark.
