02Performance
The 2-axis head ensures perfect camera balance and smooth camerawork, mounted vertically or underslung, with 360° pan and tilt.
Two coreless motors and backlash-free brass gears work precisely and quietly with minimal wear and tear, and the motor drive disengages for balancing.

Joystick controller
03Operation
Three controls on the joystick controller: damping, dead spot and pan/tilt direction.
The damping control knob prevents the head from stopping abruptly with a jerk, giving you smooth endings. The amount of damping is increased by rotating the damping knob clockwise.
The dead spot control determines the centre band of the joystick where no motion will occur, and ensures no crossover to the other axis when not wanted. You can adjust the joystick when it is not centred by rotating this knob clockwise: if you observe the head moving without deflecting the joystick, it will be necessary to adjust the centring. To perform best when reversing the head, the dead spot knob should be at 30 to 40 percent.
You can reverse the panning and tilting direction as and when required by using the switch, and you can also use the damping function at the time of reversal. So the best way to reverse the pan tilt head is by using this reversal switch.

Good strong product; handles my Canon XH-A1 with no problem; I am very pleased...I especially like the fact that the plate the camera attaches to adjusts relative to the size of the camera; the XH-A1 is a fairly large camera and this head accommodates it very well.
Well constructed work flawlessly worth the price.
This pan tilt head is amazing. It allows me to get those steady pan and tilt shots all from the external control. I love that I can adjust the speed, and overall very pleased with the build qualit
Really good product. Fast shipping. Everything fine!
