Funcionament del trípode

Understanding the controls of your C-10 Ball Head is crucial for precise camera positioning:

• Maneta de bloqueig del capçal esfèric: This large knob controls the movement of the ball. Loosen it to adjust the camera angle freely, then tighten it firmly to lock the camera in position.
• Botó de bloqueig de panoràmica: A smaller knob located at the base of the ball head. Loosen this knob to rotate the camera horizontally (panning) without affecting the tilt. Tighten to lock the panning movement.
• Quick Release Plate Lock: Ensure your camera is securely attached to the quick release plate, and the plate is firmly clamped into the ball head. Always double-check this before leaving your camera unattended.
