How do I adjust the pan and tilt friction?

Troubleshooting

Camera is not level.

Adjust the leveling base on your tripod or use the built-in bubble level (if your tripod has one) to ensure a level setup. Then re-tighten the quick release plate on the video head.

Panning or tilting is too stiff or loose.

Adjust the pan and tilt drag controls on the head to achieve the desired smoothness. Ensure that the head is properly lubricated.

Camera slips on the quick release plate.

Ensure the quick-release plate is securely fastened to the camera and the head. Tighten the locking mechanism if necessary.
