Operating Instructions

C o u n t e r b a l a n c e C o n t r o l

The counterbalance system was designed to neutralise the

effect of the camera weight when it is tilted. The Compass 25

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.
