    • To stabilize the camera after adjusting the rotation, ensure the positioning lock is pushed down and secured.
  3. Precise Focusing:
    • For focus stacking or precise composition, make small, controlled adjustments using the lead screw knobs.
    • The smooth action of the dual sliders ensures minimal vibration and precise positioning for critical macro shots.
