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.
