3.6 Setting of the drag

The Video 18 S1 is equipped with a 7-step drag level hori-
zontally and vertically and a zero setting. By turning the
vertical setting and the horizontal setting the desired level
of fluid drag is selected. Turn the setting ring to "0" in order
to switch off the drag completely.
The different drag levels can only be felt if the horizontal
and vertical brakes are open. If you apply drag, the degree
of horizontal and vertical drag is identical and thus enables
precise diagonal panning movements without jerks and
vibrations.
Make sure that you always turn the setting to the next
indexed position (arrow pointing on index dot). Engage the
retainer 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.

3.7 Brakes

The horizontal brake applies the lock for the pan and the
vertical brake for the tilt movement. Both brakes are free
off vibrations and can be used during shooting.
3.8 Change of the battery
The illumination is powered by one standard type button
cell (CR 2032, 3 V) 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" symbol as indicated in the covering plate.
The battery last for about 2000 illumination cycles.
