1 Safety instructions

ÁWhen placing the camera plate, make sure not to hold

fingers within the range of the locking lever, since it will snap

back.

ÁWhen the camera is mounted, the clamping screw of the

fluid head must only be released if camera and tripod are

secured against falling over.

ÁWhen releasing the vertical brake or the clamping for the

balance plate ensure that the camera is secured against any

sudden movement.

ÁDon´t change drag while you are panning or tilting.

3 Operation

3.1 Moving of the pan bar

Open the black clamping lever of the pan bar and move

the pan bar into the desired position. Close the clamping

lever of the pan bar. During transportation the pan bar can

be moved next to the tripod legs.

CAUTION: Open the clamping lever of the pan bar far

enough. The teeth of the pan bar clamp should not clatter

while moving the pan bar. Make sure that the teeth inter-

leave with each other when closing the clamping lever of

the pan bar.

3.2 Levelling of the fluid head

Apply the vertical brake and hold the camera with one

hand. Open the tie down of the fluid head and move the

head in such a way, that the bubble moves into the level´s

black circle. Tighten the tie down firmly.

Touch Bubble

The Video 18 SB and the Video 20 SB have a self illumina-

ting Touch Bubble which allows easy levelling even under

unfavourable lighting conditions.

The illumination is activated by strong tapping on the bub-

ble. The bubble will light up to 30 seconds.

3.3 Mounting of the camera and / or plate

The Video 18 SB and the Video 20 SB are delivered with

the Touch & Go camera quick locking system.

ÁApply the horizontal and vertical brake.

ÁHold the camera and / or plate with one hand.

ÁGrasp the locking lever with your thumb and index fin-

ger and pull down the red safety button.

Manual

ÁMove the locking lever as far as possible to the left and

take out the camera and / or plate.

ÁAttach the camera plate to the tripod adaptor plate

(camera accessory) around the camera’s centre of

gravity.

ÁBy mounting the camera and / or plate again it will lock

automatically and the locking lever will snap back

audible into its initial position.

3.4 Positioning of the camera

ÁHold the camera by securing the pan arm. Apply the

horizontal brake and release the vertical brake.

ÁTurn the counterbalance knob to position 1.

Keep on holding the camera.

ÁTurn the vertical drag setting to “0” position.

ÁTo balance the camera correctly, bring the C.O.G. of

the camera right above the pivot point of the fluid

head. Proceed in the following way: Hold the camera in

a horizontal position by securing the pan bar. Open the

lock of the sliding balance plate (push back red lever

underneath the balance plate as far as possible). Com-

pensate for a backheavy setup by sliding the balance

plate forwards and for a frontheavy setup by sliding

backwards.

ÁLock the balance plate by pulling the red lever into its

initial position.

ÁTurn the counterbalance knob to that number which

best compensates for the weight of the camera, i.e. for

as little movement upward or downward in any positi-

on.

ÁSelect the damping level for your tilt movement via the

vertical setting. In the correctly chosen position the

camera should not perform any independent tilt move-

ments from drag position “3” upwards.

ÁPLEASE NOTE: A lower counterbalance setting beco-

mes immediately effective in any tilt position. An

increase of the counterbalance setting will only be

effective in the horizontal position (springs must click in

audibly).

ÁIf you can’t manage to centre the camera, you should

move the camera plate to a different position on the tri-

pod mounting adaptor or use the C.O.G. plate (#1063)

which is available as an accessory.

3.5 Setting of the damping

The Video 18 SB and the Video 20 SB are equipped with

seven damping levels horizontally and vertically and a zero

setting.

By turning the vertical setting and the horizontal setting

you can select the desired level of the fluid damping.

Turn the setting ring to “0” in order to switch off the dam-

ping completely. Make sure that you always turn the set-

ting to the next indexed position (arrow). Engage the retai-

ner pins by slowly panning or tilting the camera.

ATTENTION: Panning or tilting the camera with settings

between the indexed positions can damage the retainer

pins and/or disks.

If you set the setting rings on the same index number

(e. g. “3”) the degree of the horizontal and vertical damping

is identical and thus enabling precise diagonal panning

movements without jerks and vibrations.

To ensure smooth operation of the setting rings over the

long life time period of the fluid head, you should turn both

setting rings from position “0” to maximum position, before

and after the use of the fluid head.

3.6 Brakes

The horizontal brake applies the lock for the pan and the

vertical brake for the tilt movement. Both brakes are vibra-

tionless and can be used during shooting.

3.7 Change of the batteries

The illumination is powered by three standard type button

cells (625 U or LR9) located in the battery holder, which

can be opened with a sharp object such as a screwdriver.

Make sure to insert the new batteries according to the

“plus” and “minus” symbols as indicated in the covering

plate. The batteries last for about 2000 illumination cycles.
