Counter balance on video tripod
Hello all,
I am new to the forum and am by no means a professional. Last year I bought a 3d printer (well, 3 of them) to start making my own nick-nacks and to prototype a few things that I'd like to get manufactured, one of which is my own camera tripod.
Does anyone know how the counter balance mechanism on a video tripod works? I do best when I can take something apart to understand it but I don't have access to what I am looking for and don't have the money at the moment just to buy one and take it apart. I have figured out a simple way to create the "fluid" movement as well as several other aspects of a fluid head but I just cant figure out the counter balance.
