2065 Fluid Pan & Tilt Head

Preface

Thank you and congratulations on the purchase of your new 2065 fluid pan and tilt head from
OConnor.

We want you to get the most from your new 2065, and therefore encourage you to read this
operator's guide to familiarize yourself with its many features, some of which may be new to you.

Features and benefits of your new 2065

The 2065 fluid pan and tilt head features OConnor's stepless counterbalance system as well as
ultra-smooth pan and tilt fluid drag designed for cine style shooting. A collapsible counterbalance
crank handle and numerical readout make counterbalancing the payload easy. The platform has
all the controls on the camera operator's side of the head (left side) and features a platform scale
on both sides and four rosette handle mountings. The platform release lever has a one touch
finger actuated safety release catch - while still requiring conscious effort.

OConnor's fluid drag system allows an extremely quick pan movement from one position to
another, recovering instantly without any spring back.

You can set up easily in low light conditions using the illuminated bubble level.
