When first using your gp panning control
knob (1), the gearing may feel stiff, requiring
a bit of effort to turn the geared panning
knob.
This is normal for a new gp head. After a
short period of break-in time the gp head will
smooth out and turn easier.
Please note — The index-ring (2) under the
quick release is user adjustable. The index
mark on the index-ring can be moved to a
starting point for a series of panoramic
captures or can be left at the zero position.
To stop the panorama rotation, the locking
lever (3) must be moved to the right.
On our oiled leathers, because of tempera-
ture and moisture variations white spots can
appear coming from the excess of oil
resulting from the tanning process to create
water resistant leather. This is the natural
breathing of oiled leather. To remove these
white spots you brush either softly or use
„dry cleaning solvent“ on a towel. Never add
oil or wax to clean these white residues.
When leather is wet, never dry it near a heat
source. Brush them regularly and for dirt,
clean them with water or water and soap,
then rinse.

Finally a professional solution that eliminates the
tedious fixing of the tripod head.
ARCA-SWISS presents the new tripod mounting
QuickLink. The combination of a mounting plate for
the tripod and an insert plate which is attached to the
tripod head makes attaching and detaching the tripod
head child's play. The installed plates can thus be left
permanently on the tripod or on the tripod head.
By means of a solid bayonet, the tripod head with its
insert plate is placed into the mounting plate and
securely fixed by a knurled rotating ring.

focusing in the longitudinal plane, the X-Table
System also allows you to adjust the fine operation in
the transverse plane thanks to the crossover.

(1) Select a panoramic overlap interval by rotating the white index mark on the
clicPan® (brass) adjustment ring. Rotate the ring until the index mark is aligned with
your preferred interval detent setting.
Ten positions are provided on the lower scale - 40° (9 stops), 30° (12 stops), 24° (15
stops), 20° (18 stops), 15° (24 stops), 12° (30 stops), 10° (36 stops), 7.5° (48 stops),
6° (60 stops) with an “OFF” position for 360° free panning movement.
The clicPan® adjustment ring will turn in either direction. When rotated, the
adjustment ring will stop and “clic” into the next detent setting.
Once a setting has been chosen, the mounted camera will pan in equal increments
through a 360° radius, with an audible “clic” at each position.
(2) The degree of rotation can be visually checked using the upper index scale.
(3) Move the clicPan® ring to the “OFF” position when 360° free panning is required.
(4) To stop all panning rotation, tighten the upper panning lock lever.
The upper pan must be unlocked when making incremental panoramic captures using
one of the detent settings.
