The Compass 15 Fluid Head has been designed to suit payload capacities from HDV to standard configuration DVCAM cameras .  \nThe robust design and construction of the Compass 15 Fluid Head offers maximum stability, accuracy and durability and includes precision ball bearing mounted Fluid Drag Plate system in the Pan and Tilt assembly to deliver true fluid drag performance over the entire temperature and payload range.  \nThe Fluid Drag and the Counterbalance system were designed to provide excellent control and repeatability and offer progressive equal increments of drag and torque.  \nThe Compass 15 Fluid Head also offers Illuminated Bubble level.  \nThe Compass 15 Fluid Head will give best performance when used on a wide range of Miller tripods, including SOLO DV (\\#1501 & 1630) and Lightweight (\\#440 & 420) tripod. This will ensure maximum system stability to suit any professional setup. The Compass 15 Fluid Head will suit most industry standard 75 mm tripods as well, please refer to manufactures’ manual for mounting details.  \nAttaching/removing the camera .  \nPlease use this manual to familiarise yourself with the operation of the Compass 15 Fluid Head and observe these instructions to prevent any damage to your equipment. Ensure that all equipment is operating correctly and free from defects and damage, also please ensure that the tripod is steady, secure and that the bowl is approximately horizontal when attaching the camera . The operator is responsible for the safe operation of this piece of equipment.  \n• Do not exceed the maximum payload capacity of the Fluid Head.  \n• Do not leave the camera unattended on the Fluid Head.  \n• Do not release the SLIDING PLATFORM LOCK whilst the camera is at an angle.  \n• Do not adjust the tripod whilst the camera is attached to the Fluid Head.  \n• Ensure PAN HANDLE CLAMP and CLAMP NUT is securely tightened.  \n• Apply TILT LOCK when adding/removing equipment from the camera or when attaching/removing the camera from the Fluid Head.  \n• Hold camera securely whilst changing Counterbalance, Pan Drag or Tilt Drag settings.  \n• Hold the camera securely whilst releasing the RELEASE KNOB.  \n• Hold camera securely whilst adjusting the CLAMP NUT to level the Fluid Head.  \n3  \n\n| \u003Cbr>Technical Data |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Weight | 2.6 kg (5 .7 lb) |\n| Payload Range | 2.0 – 9.0 kg (4 .4-19.8 lb) |\n| Max.
