Troubleshooting

Camera is not level after mounting.

Ensure the 75mm ball on the tripod legs is correctly seated and locked into the GH06 head. Use the built-in spirit level on the head for fine adjustments.

Fluid drag is too stiff or too loose.

Adjust the drag settings (0-3) on the pan and tilt axis of the GH06 head. If still not satisfactory, ensure the head is at the correct temperature, as extreme cold can stiffen the fluid.

Tripod legs won't lock securely.

Check the mono-lock mechanism on each leg for debris. Ensure the locks are fully engaged. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Camera feels unstable during pans or tilts.

Adjust the counterbalance settings (0-5) on the GH06 head to better match the camera's weight. Ensure the pan and tilt drag are set appropriately, not too loose.

Accessory mount is stripped or damaged.

Avoid overtightening accessories. If a mount is damaged, it may require repair or replacement of the head unit.
