Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Compass 12 Fluid
Camera Screws
Head. The Compass 12 Fluid Head has been
designed to suit payload capacities from DSLR
to DV camera configurations.
The robust design and construction of the
Compass 12 Fluid Head offers maximum
stability, accuracy and durability and includes
precision ball bearing mounted Fluid Drag Plate
system in the Pan and Tilt assembly to deliver
true fluid drag performance over the entire
temperature and payload range.
The Fluid Drag and the Counterbalance system
were designed to provide excellent control
and repeatability and offer progressive equal
increments of drag and torque.
The Compass 12 Fluid Head also offers
Illuminated Bubble level.
The Compass 12 Fluid Head will give best
performance when used on a wide range of
Miller tripods, including SOLO DV (#1501,
#1630), and Lightweight (#440, #420) tripod.
This will ensure maximum system stability to
Bubble Level
suit any professional set-up. The Compass 12
Fluid Head will suit most industry standard
75 mm tripods as well, please refer to
manufactures' manual for mounting details.
