Note: When equipment is screwed on the ballhead, please hold your
device tightly with one hand while adjusting the ball head to avoid any
damage to your equipment.
Tip: Block the panorama function for easy handling when tightening or
loosening the ball head!
F Removing and inserting the quick release plate
Loosen the lock of the quick-release plate by turning the base platform locking knob
for quick release plate. Remove the quick-release plate by angling it upwards. Pro-
ceed in reverse order to insert the quick-release plate and lock the quick-release
plate (15) once more by screwing the base platform locking knob (13).
Note: Ensure that the quick-release plate is correctly inserted and is not
cross-threaded, and that the lock head is sufficiently tight.
G Mounting the quick-release plate to your equipment
The Arca-Swiss compatible quick-release plate very comfortably attaches your
equipment with the ballhead. In general, the quick-release plate can be screwed
on to the device to be attached with a 1/4-inch thread and then inserted into the
ball head. Two safety pins (15) on the underside of the quick release plate prevent
slipping out sideways if the quick-release plate has not been fully locked into place.
The quick-release plate can remain permanently on your camera. Additional, com-
patible quick-release plates in many variations can be found in our web shop at
www.foto-walser.de
Operating and maintenance instructions
Please respect the maximum load capacity of the individual ball head models
(see manual).
Please note, that the indicated values for the maximum load capacity are only
valid, when complying a centrally placement of your equipment on the ball head.
Depending on the equipment used (and the corresponding leverage effect) or in
case of large angle setting from over approx. 45°, the maximum load capacity
may differ from that stated.
Dirt or greasy residues on the ball can also lead to reduced stability.
Under normal conditions of use, this ball head is maintenance-free. Avoid dirt,
sand and salt water or other impurities entering the ball head and clean the ball
head if necessary.
If, after soiling, a scratching sound is heard, or function is reduced, cleaning it
with a soft, damp cloth should help.
When cleaning the ballhead, do NOT use any solvents, or cleaning products/
lubricants that contain silicone or oil. This may, in certain conditions, destroy the
inner plastics, seize up the mechanics or reduce the maximum load capacity.
The working conditions of this product are approx. -20° C to +70°C.
Avoid high temperatures or exposure to direct sunlight over extended periods.
