The tilt locking knob locks and unlocks the head, which allows you to tilt the head 180 degrees vertically. Turn the knob counterclockwise to unlock the head, and clockwise to lock it. After positioning the head, make sure to firmly tighten the knob.

Warning: Always use one hand to secure the camera while adjusting the head, and ensure that the lock is engaged before letting go of the camera.

4. Dual-Locking Quick Release

The VH-R2 Tilt Head is designed with a dual-locking quick-release latch to keep the camera securely in place on the head.

To unlock the quick-release, press the small latch while pulling outward on the main latch at the same time.
