Instead of having to slide a heavy, awkwardly balanced camera assembly blindly from the rear, you can tilt the camera package straight down into the left side of the platform groove until it clicks. This engages a safety lock, allowing you to slide the rig forward or backward to balance before clamping it down tightly using the side lever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDirect Accessory Rigging:\u003c\/b\u003e Avoid hanging heavy external directors' monitors, wireless transmitters, or audio recorders off your camera cage, as this throws off your carefully tuned fluid head balance.
