Operating Instructions

3. Counterbalance Control

The counterbalance system was designed to neutralise the

effect of the camera weight when it is tilted. The Compass 15

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.

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.
