Operating Instructions

4. Counterbalance Control

The counterbalance system was designed to neutralise the

effect of the camera weight when it is tilted. The CiNX Fluid

head offers a 16 position counterbalance system which is

operated with the CB SELECTOR KNOB and the CB PLUS

SELECTOR KNOB.

The system was designed for an efficient and ergonomic

control of the counterbalance mechanism which delivers a

wide payload range capacity.

The counterbalance selector knob and the CB PLUS

SELECTOR KNOB must be operated when the CAMERA

PLATE 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.

4.1 For safety select counterbalance position 16, being the

orange coloured marker on the CB SELECTOR

KNOB pointing to position 16 and the CB PLUS

SELECTOR KNOB displaying an orange marker.

4.2 Hold the camera and release the TILT LOCK, then gently

tilt the camera from the 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, rotate the CB

SELECTOR KNOB clockwise to a lower position and

recheck, select lower setting again if necessary.

4.3 Finer adjustments can be made by toggling the CB PLUS

SELECTOR KNOB (Fig. 10).

4.4 Correct counterbalance setting has been achieved when

minimum effort is required to move the camera over the

entire tilt range.
