After the horizontal and vertical shifting angles are adjusted, their positions are fixed by clamping fins. The balancing platform for the camera measures 85*65 mm. The platform can be moved forward or backward within a range of 60 mm to optimally position the camera's center of gravity above the ball joint axis.

They insure the camera against spontaneous movements, if the fixing screw becomes slightly loose. The length of the telescopic handle can be adjusted from 370 to 580 mm.
