how so you do a up and motion with this?

Hi Marv, The knobs on the legs adjust the camera head, with the camera, up and down. I think you maybe asking 'How do I create a shot that starts low and moves up (or starts up and moves down low) while the video camera is recording.' You can't do that kind of a shot with this tripod. That kind of shot is called a pedestal shot. It's used in heavy (and expensive) studio tripods. So if you are shooting on location that's not practical. What you might want to look at to get that kind of shot is a 'Jib'. You set your camera on an end of a bar or pipe with a counter balance at the other end. In the middle is a stand that acts as a fulcrum, like a kids teeter-totter. Now the camera can move up and down, that's called a jib shot or a crane shot. Jibs come in all prices and sizes. I've seen videos on You-Tube how to make one with plastic pipe and $40 of stuff from a hardware store. I've seen large professional ones that take 3 people to assemble and operate. Vari-Zoom, the company that made your tripod, sells them. I don't known the price. You could also use a Steady-Cam or Glide-Cam to create the same shot. This is were the camera is mounted to a rig that is mounted to the camera operator and allows the camera to move up and down. Again, there's all kinds and all price ranges, and of course if you only need one for a few days, you can rent a Jib or a Steady/Glide Cam.

Side panning is beautiful. Up and down is not so smooth but it can work alright. Diagonal panning is horrible. Just be aware.

Marv, one more thing, to point the camera up and down adjust the two large knobs on both sides of the camera head. One knob has the word 'lock' on it. Unlock the head so it will move up and down. It moves better when you attach the handle that comes with the tripod.

The UP will not track your movements if your arms are still. I tried it once on the elliptical and it did not work

Absolutely not, it manages very easily and fast! An up and down motion is all you need to get everything whipped up quickly! You will love this!

Take two quarters and tap them at the front bottom side of the heli. Adjust more or less weight as needed. That will give u forward motion....

There is a lever on the side that you can push up or down, You can adjust the heigt to your desire, there is a big flexibility on this.

It's very easy to adjust. My 6 year old can do it. To make it raise, all you need is a broom handle or something like it and push up anywhere on the unit. To make it go down, you still use a broom handle but there is a catch lever you have to push on to release the unit.

There is a video on YouTube that shows how to do it. A bit cumbersome but it works.

I didn't get instructions, but the best thing to do is go on Youtube and do a search and see what training you can do with this. Usually it loosens you up.

There wasn't really a trick . i just read the directions. However I must warn you to be careful operating when fully extended. Very hard to manage fully extended without straining the shoulder. I had the harness to relieve some of the tension, what a piece of crap.

Pretty simple. Hold the bottom edge of your monitor to support it and push in the large disc looking thing at the end of the upper arm. The arm will lock in to several positions. Raising and lowering may require readjusting the tilt, depending on the extent of the move, otherwise it's easy.

There is a lever that you push down and the shaft slides up. It's pretty easy

Sorry - lent it to a friend so I don't have the instructions. Maybe try You Tube to see if anyone does a demo of it. Good luck!

Start with the lowest and move up from there. You want to use as little "force" as necessary to correct the behavior.

hold the &lt;&lt; or &gt;&gt; down for a bit and it rewinds/fast forwards, you release when you are to the point you want to be at. a quick tap will go back and forward by track. hope this helps!

The wheel is kind of low, so I can stretch with it there. You probably want to go lower than I, so yes, it just lifts up and out if needed.
