Fitting the pan bar

A single pan bar is supplied and is fitted to either the right or left side of the head onto the pan
bar mounting [16].
To fit the pan bar:
Position the pan bar [8] on the pan bar mounting point [16].
Rotate the pan bar clamp [7] in a clockwise direction, until the pan bar is secured.
A second pan bar can be fitted to the other side of the head, if required (see the Parts list on
page 16 for further information).

Installing the head on a tripod

The Vision blue3 pan and tilt head is supplied with an integral 75 mm ball mount, designed for
installation onto a compatible Vinten tripod. Adaptors are available which allow the head to be
installed on tripods fitted with other mountings.
To install the head onto the tripod:
Remove the bowl clamp assembly [14] from the head by turning it in an counter-
clockwise direction.
Position the head on the tripod, carefully lowering the head into the tripod bowl.
Using the pan bar [8] to steady the head, refit the bowl clamp assembly [14] from below
the tripod bowl, turning it in a clockwise direction, until the head is secured.
Apply the pan brake [4] and tilt brake [3] by turning the levers in a clockwise direction.
CAUTION! Do NOT use force on the brake levers. Hand tighten only.
Using the level bubble [15] adjust the position of the head, until the head sits level in the
tripod bowl. Tighten the bowl clamp assembly [14] to secure the head in position. The
level bubble can be illuminated by pressing the push button [12].

Mounting the camera

The head is supplied with a camera slide plate [2], that can be fitted with a 1/4 in. screw and pin
assembly [1], two 1/4 in. or two 3/8 in. camera screws, depending on the camera attachment.
To mount the camera onto the head:
Remove the slide plate [2] from the head. Release the slide plate clamp [6] and press
the slide lock release [17], then slide the plate out to the rear of the platform [9].
Attach the slide plate [2] to the camera or camera mounting plate under the approximate
centre of the camera's weight.
