Bedryfsinstruksies

1. Fluid Head Operation (Pan and Tilt)

The S5X fluid head offers stepless hydraulic pan and tilt damping for smooth camera movements.

• Pan Beweging: The fluid head allows for 360° panoramic rotation. Adjust the panning resistance using the dedicated control knob to achieve your desired smoothness for tracking shots or slow pans.
• Kantelbeweging: The head supports tilting from -70° to +90°. Adjust the tilt damping knob for precise control over vertical camera movements.
• Teenbalans: The stepless counterbalance system helps balance different camera weights, preventing the camera from tipping forward or backward when tilted. Adjust the counterbalance knob until the camera remains stable at various tilt angles.

2. Quick Release Plate Compatibility

The quick release plate is compatible with both MFT cameras and DJI RS series gimbals. This allows for rapid transitions between tripod and gimbal setups without needing to remove the plate from your camera rig.
