Operating Instructions
2. Camera Set-up
2.1 Remove the CAMERA PLATE by pressing the RELEASE
KNOB while pulling the CAMERA PLATE out.
2.2 Refer to the Camera's owners manual for correct
method of attachment to the CAMERA PLATE. Inspect
the CAMERA PLATE and remove the 1/4" and 3/8"
screws (for HDV mount) or the 1/4" + PIN CARRIAGE
(DVCAM mount) as required.
2.3 Attach camera accessories and the battery to the
camera, it is recommended to estimate the
camera's Centre of Gravity (C of G) for the
purpose of correctly positioning the camera on
the CAMERA PLATE. The camera's C of G can be
estimated by placing the camera on to a round rod and
then shifting it backwards or forwards until a balance
point – C of G - is achieved. It is recommended
to identify this point on the camera as it will
be useful in step 2.5.
2.4 Attach the CAMERA PLATE to the camera and
securely tighten the screws.
2.5 Check that the SLIDE LOCK is loose, then align the
CAMERA PLATE with the SLIDING PLATFORM and
slide it in until the safety mechanism is engaged.
2.6 Position the CAMERA PLATE so that the camera's
C of G is directly above the centre axis of the Fluid
Head and tighten the SLIDE LOCK. If this can not be
achieved then reposition the CAMERA PLATE on the
Camera – step 2.4. This will ensure that the system has
maximum stability.

Operating Instructions
3. Counterbalance Control
The counterbalance system was designed to
neutralise the effect of the camera weight when
it is tilted. The Compass 12 Fluid Head offers a
4 position counterbalance system which can be
operated via the COUNTERBALANCE SELECTOR
(fig. 2). The COUNTERBALANCE SELECTOR
must be operated when the SLIDING PLATFORM
is in a horizontal position. After changing the
Counterbalance setting it may be necessary to
tilt the camera back and forth to ensure that the
CB spring has engaged. The camera must be
held securely while changing the Counterbalance
setting.

Maintenance
The Compass 12 Fluid Head offers high
quality surface coatings. Miller
recommends keeping the Fluid Head
clean at all times by using soft brushes
and lint free cloth to wipe over the surfaces.
 Do not immerse the Fluid Head in any liquid.
 Do not use stiff brushes, abrasives, harsh
detergents and solvents.

Battery Replacement

The Compass 12 Fluid Head uses a single 11A
type - 6 Volt battery for Illumination. Miller
recommends the following batteries to provide
long life performance – GP11A, Duracell MN11
or Vinnic L1016.
1 Using a Phillips Head #1 screw driver,
remove the RETAINING SCREW and
the BATTERY DOOR.
2 Using a small flat screw driver remove
the battery.
3 Align the new battery as shown on the back of
the BATTERY DOOR and place into the BATTERY
HOUSING, then push down the battery into
place. A small flat screw driver may be used
to push down the battery into the BATTERY
HOUSING.
4 Align the BATTERY DOOR into the body then
tighten the screw lightly.

3.1 For safety ensure that Counterbalance position
4 is selected.
3.2 Hold the camera and release the TILT LOCK,
then gently tilt the camera from a horizontal
position forward then backward and observe
its response. If the Camera 'Springs Back'
to the horizontal position then a lower
Counterbalance setting is required, select
Counterbalance position 3 and recheck, select
lower setting again if necessary. Correct
counterbalance setting has been achieved
when minimum effort is required to move the
camera over the entire tilt range.
TIP Fine tuning can be achieved by adjusting the
SLIDING PLATFORM – see step 2.6.
