Pozi-Loc tripod
The Pozi-Loc single-stage tripod (Fig. 2) has aluminium legs and a 75 mm levelling bowl (18). It
is fitted with the highly-efficient Pozi-Loc leg clamp (19), which provides quick set-up and easy adjustment.
Tripod spreader
The tripod is supplied with a floor spreader (Fig. 2) which increases the rigidity of the tripod. The
floor spreader which, being flexible, compen sates for uneven ground, p rotects floors a nd carpets
and prevents the tripod legs sinking into soft ground. It should be used at all times.
Each arm of the spreader is adjustable for length (21) and the tripod feet are secured by rubber
straps (22). At the fullest extension of the spreader, and with all tripod legs fully retracted, the tripod can be used at its lowest operating height.
WARNING!
Do NOT use the tripod without a spreader to obtain a lower height, the
tripod geometry will become unstable.
NOTE: The spreader may be removed and the tripod fitted to a dolly.

Operation
Assembly
If not already done, assemble the system as follows:
Tripod and floor spreader
To install the floor spreader (Fig. 2):
Lift the tripod out of the case using the finger holes just below the top clamps.
Release the leg tie strap (23) and spread the legs.
Secure the spreader to the tripod feet with the rubber straps (22).
NOTE: Once assembled, keep the spreader attached to the tripod.
To adjust the tripod:
Back
Adjust the operating height by undoing t he leg clamps (19) and pulling the tripod up to the
desired height. Adjust the spreader (21) if necessary.
Tighten the clamps (19) until an audible click is heard and the knob is in the horizontal,
locked position.
In adverse conditions secure the tripod using the tie-down hook (25), or su spend a weight
from the hook.
1. Always set the floor spreader to the widest practicable setting to
increase stability. Use care when the tripod is fully extended and
the floor spreader is in the closed position, as stability will be
reduced.
2. Do NOT hang items on pan bar handles (5). This will severely
reduce tripod stability.
3. Use care when setting the tripod on uneven s urface s, pa rticularly
stairs—stability will be reduced. Using a mid-level spreader is
recommended on stairs (see Optional accessories on page 24).
4. Secure the tripod using the tie-down hook (25) if the tripod is
mounted in an elevated position above personnel—such as a
platform or gantry.

Payload
Centre of Gravity (C of G) Height
Checking camera balance
The PRO-5plus head has an on/off selectable balance system, set for payloads of 4.5kg (9.9lb)
at a centre of gravity (C of G) height of 55 mm (2.2 in. ). The gr aph (Fig. 4) shows the relationship
between C of G height and payload for optimum performance.
Fig. 4 Balance graph
The balance selector (12) allows two balance levels to be utilized. Pushing the selector (12) downward (Fig. 5) offers free rotation of the tilt axis with no counter-balance engagement. Lifting the
selector (12) upward (Fig. 5) offers full balance capacity (Fig. 4).
1. Do NOT exceed the maximum capacity of either the head or the
tripod. The system will become unstable and may fail.
2. Always support the camera payload if disengaging the counterbalance mechanism to prevent it falling away suddenly.
3. Keep hands clear of the moving platform to avoid trapping
fingers.

and sliding the camera backwards or forward until it balances horizontally. Apply the slide
plate clamp (15). Re-check and adjust as necessary.
Using the pan bar (5), tilt the head backwards and forwards. If the head tends to spring
back, de-select the balance system (12) and apply sufficient tilt drag (1) to co nt ro l camera
tilt as required. If the head tends to fall away, the payload exce eds the capacity of the head
(Fig. 4). If possible, reduce the C of G height of any ancillary equipment or remove com-
pletely.
Securely apply the slid e plate clamp (15) when balance has been achieved,
to prevent the camera payload slipping.
WARNING!
Pan and tilt brakes
Brakes on each axis allow the head to be locked at any chosen position. The operating lever for
the pan brake (10) is at the rear of the head. The tilt brake (13) is operated by a lever on the lefthand side of the head.
To apply the pan brake, turn the lever (10) fully clockwise. To release the brake, turn the lever
counter-clockwise.
To apply the tilt brake, turn the lever (13) fully clockwise. To release the brake, turn the lever counterclockwise.
CAUTION! DO NOT use the brakes to supplement drag, the head may be damaged.
When the brakes are not in use, always ensure they are fully released.
Pan and tilt drag
Both the pan and tilt mechanisms incorporate a fluid drag system to ensure smooth movement of
the camera about these axes.
The tilt drag adjustment knob (1) is on the left-hand side of the head, the pan drag knob (8) is on
the top of the body, beneath the platform.
To increase drag, turn the appropriat e kn ob clockwise. To decrease drag, turn the knob counterclockwise.
CAUTION! Reduce drag to a minimum when the head is out of use f or long periods, to
minimize wear on drag components.

Servicing
General
Protouch products are robustly made to high engineering standards and little attention is required
to maintain serviceability save regular cleaning. Attention to the following points will ensure a long
and useful service life with minimum need for repair.
Cleaning
During indoor use, the only cleaning required should be a regular wipe over with a lint-free cloth.
Dirt accumulated during storage may be removed using a semi-stiff brush. Particular attention
should be paid to the ball mounting face of the h ead, the spa ce between the tilt ing assembly and
the base and the mounting bowl of the tripod.
Use out-of-doors under adverse conditions will require special attention. Salt spray should be
washed off with fresh water at the earliest opportunity. Sand and dirt acts as an abrasive and
should be removed using a semi-stiff brush or vacuum cleaner.
CAUTION! DO NOT use solvent or oil-based cleaners, abrasives or wire brushes to
remove accumulat ions of dirt, as these damage the protective surfaces.
Use only detergent-based cleaners.
Routine maintenance
During use, check the following:
Check the effectiveness of the pan and tilt brakes. Reset as necessary.
Check the effectiveness of the tripod leg clamps. Reset as necessary.
Check for ageing and cracking of the rubber foot securing straps on the spreader and renew
if necessary.
No further routine maintenance is required.

Turn the shaft (10.2) clockwise until the pan brake is fully applied.
Install the knob (10) on the shaft (10.2) positioned just beyond right angles (clockwise) to
the body of the head.
Turn the knob fully counterclockwise and ensure th e brake is released. Turn the knob clock-
wise and ensure the brake is applied before the knob reaches the end of its travel.
Readjust as necessary and secure the knob with the screw (10.1).
Tilt brake knob adjustment
The tilt drag knob (13) may also require adjustment after prolonged use:
To adjust the tilt brake knob (Fig. 7):
Remove the securing screw (13.1) and pull the knob (13) off the shaft (13.2).
Turn the shaft (13.2) clockwise until the pan brake is fully applied.
Install the knob (13) on the shaft (13.2) with the lever approximately horizontal in a 3 o’clock
position, pointing toward the rear of the head.
Turn the knob counterclockwise by half a turn and ensure the brake is released. Turn the
knob clockwise and ensure the brake is applied before the knob reaches the end of its travel
or interferes with other head controls.
Readjust as necessary and secure the knob with the screw (13.1).
