Operating the <strong>Head</strong> in <strong>Manual</strong> mode<br />
The <strong>Head</strong> can be operated manually by a camera operator using the bars to control the pan <strong>and</strong> tilt movements.<br />
H<strong>and</strong>-controls can be fitted to the pan bar h<strong>and</strong>les to control the camera lens <strong>and</strong> additionally a H<strong>and</strong>-control<br />
unit may be installed to automate switching between remote <strong>and</strong> manual lens controls. The <strong>Head</strong> must be rebalanced<br />
whenever equipment is removed or the pan bar h<strong>and</strong>les adjusted. See Balancing the <strong>Head</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
payload page 7.<br />
Switching to <strong>Manual</strong> mode<br />
<strong>Manual</strong> mode disengages the robotic drives <strong>and</strong> engages drag modules, allowing the camera operator to<br />
smoothly control the camera using the pan bars. <strong>Pan</strong> <strong>and</strong> tilt axes can be independently set to manual mode<br />
by turning the appropriate pan or tilt robotic/manual rotary switch fully clockwise <strong>and</strong> then rotating the axis until<br />
the drag module engages.<br />

whilst a Camera Operator is operating the <strong>Head</strong><br />
manually.<br />
Note: A <strong>Head</strong> mounted on a pedestal can be switched to manual (‘man’) mode without any need for<br />
re-targeting the pedestal.<br />
