2. Mount Your Camera
The DS5 is equipped with a Quick
release plate housing a removable _” &
pin carriage. The _” & pin carriage is
captive in the plate and is the standard
mounting method for palmcorders and
lightweight MiniDV camcorders.
2.1Lock PAN and TILT LOCKS (rotate
both levers clockwise until firm).
2.2Remove CAMERA PLATE from
CAMERA PLATFORM by unlocking
SLIDE LOCK. The rear of the Camera
plate (with captive _” & pin) will flip
out of the platform.
2.3 Attach CAMERA PLATE by fastening
CAMERA SCREW & locating pin into
camera’s base. N.B. there is about
20mm of sliding movement on the
camera plate to allow for optimum
Centre of Gravity (CofG) placement
of the camera on the fluid head.
2.5Attach camera to fluid head by
inserting the camera plate (front first)
into the space in the platform, then
push the camera plate down into the
rear to engage the locking
mechanism. The camera plate should
be securely held in the platform by
pushing the yellow locking lever
(beneath the platform) until it is tight.
Cleaning
WARNING: Do not immerse a fluid head in any liquid.
WARNING: Do not use stiff brushes, abrasives or solvents.
The DS10 (DS20) fluid head features protective coatings, dust and
moisture seals and anti-corrosive fittings to ensure long and
trouble-free operation in harshest of location environments. To
ensure optimum performance throughout the life of the head Miller
recommends regular cleaning.
When the fluid head has been used in harsh environments (such as
sand, mud or salt water spray), wipe over with a soft damp cloth as
soon as possible. Use a soft brush to clean crevices. Remove and
clean CAMERA PLATE.
Storage
When storing for extended periods: clean fluid head and store in a
safe, dry place, away from direct sunlight. The fluid heads can be
stored horizontally or upright. However, it is not advisable to store
the head for extended periods with the tilt locked in an extreme
position, either forward or backward.
Maintenance
With the exception of cleaning, the DS10/ DS20 fluid head does not
require additional maintenance. Miller recommends periodic
servicing by a Miller Authorised Agent. Miller Authorised Service
Agents must carry out all service and repair work. Failure to
observe this requirement may void warranty.
