2575D Fluid Pan & Tilt Head

Preface

Thank you and congratulations on the purchase of your new 2575D from OConnor.

We want you to get the most from your new 2575D, 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.
It also covers essential health and safety information and a section on maintenance that will
ensure you keep your new product in perfect condition.

Please register your purchase online at www.ocon.com.

Features and benefits of your new 2575D

The 2575D head is the flagship of OConnor's ultimate range of fluid heads and 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 new 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.
