7. To balance your lens, keep holding it until you ac-
quire a feeling for how far you can release the lock-
ing knob and the friction control (d+c) with the lens
still remaining in position. Now loosen the locking
knob of the mounting clamp just enough to move
the lens back and forth into a perfectly balanced
position. Make sure to securely tighten the mount-
ing clamp (e).
8. For optimum results, unscrew the locking knob
(c) and adjust the friction control knob (d) to
achieve the desired amount of friction. Once the
friction is adjusted, your right hand is always free to
remain on the trigger. Your left hand can make any
focus or other lens adjustments, or with a simple
twist of the locking knob (c), instantaneously lock
down your camera system.
9. To remove your camera, first tighten the locking
knob (c), then unscrew the mounting clamp locking
knob (e) and remove your camera.
Using lenses without tripod mount ring
1. In order to use a camera without a tripod mount
ring (wide angle lenses for example) loosen the fric-
tion and locking knobs, turn the inner U-bar 180°
up to its highest position, lock the the knobs (c+d)
and mount your camera using the knurled thumb-
screw onto the U-bar.
2. For vertical format pictures, just loosen the
knurled thumbscrew and turn the camera 90°, then
tilt the inner u-bar 90° respectively to the desired
position. Be especially careful to sufficiently tighten
the locking knob when using your Nill tripod head in
this position.
