cally by tilting the camera through the horizontal position (audible clicking).

tically and the locking lever will snap back audibly into
its initial position.

3.5 Positioning the camera
Á Hold the camera by securing the pan bar.
Á Apply horizontal brake and release vertical brake and tilt
safety lock by pulling out the red knob and turning it
90°.The Green marking on the red knob becomes visible (rocking the pan bars up and down will facilitate
this).
Á Select 0 on the vertical drag adjustment ring.
Á Open the lock of the camera sliding balance plate.
On the Video 75 Plus EFP you have to push the red lever
back underneath the balance plate as far as possible.
Á By turning the spindle forwards and backwards move
the camera until you have reached a position where
the camera is balanced horizontally. Rear-heavy cameras are moved to the front by turning the spindle clockwise, front-heavy cameras are moved to the back by
turning the spindle counter clockwise. This will be
easier when the camera is held in a horizontal position.
Á Secure sliding balance plate with clamping lever
(spindle drive is self-locking, clamping serves to eliminate play).
Á Lock the balance plate on the Video 75 Plus EFP by
pulling the red lever into its initial position.
Caution: If you can’t manage to center the camera, you
should move the camera plate to a different
position on the tripod mounting adapter.
3.6 Adjusting the camera’s counterbalance
Á Hold the camera by securing the pan bar. Turn the
counterbalance knob to that number which best compensates for the weight of the camera.
Á After each spring is released, check if the camera will
remain in a tilted position, without moving upwards or
downwards significantly.
