Thank you for purchasing a Cambo product
The PCH is a tripod head which features geared rotational movement around
the X- and Y-Axis and Z-Axis (top) and double (top and bottom plate) manual
rotation around the Z-axis. This enables the PCF to be used as a normal ball
head for fast levelling adjustment as well as a precision gear head for fine
levelling adjustments.

6. Rotating
To rotate the camera, unlock either locking knob [E] (rotate CCW to
unlock) for manual rotation around the bottom plate, or knob [I] to
rotate around the top plate. Both rotating movements have position
click indications every 90º for fast positioning. The top plate is fitted
with a 360º scale for precise positioning. Use knob [J] for geared
rotation around the Z-axis.
To prevent the locking knobs from interfering with the housing or base
plates that exceed the size of the bottom plate, both locking knobs have
been fitted an indexing feature. By pulling the locking knob outward [1.]
the locking knob can be rotated [2.] to any desired position.

7. Adjusting the PCF friction
It is possible to fine tune the PCF manual control friction to your own
preference. Note that fine tuning the PCF friction is a precise task and
should be performed with great care to prevent damages or
malfunctioning.
Fine tuning the manual friction:
Figure 5 PCF manual friction adjustment
1. Rotate locking knobs [D] and [H] CCW until they come off the
threaded axis.
2. Use an 8mm wrench to turn the M5 locking nut CW to apply
more friction or CCW to apply less friction.
3. Re-apply locking knobs [D] and [H] by rotating them CW over
the threaded axis.
