Loosen this knob by turning it counter-clockwise to allow the ball to move freely, enabling you to tilt and swivel your camera to any desired angle. Once the desired position is achieved, tighten the knob clockwise to lock the ball securely in place. Ensure it is fully tightened to prevent camera movement.

   This is a smaller knob, usually located at the base of the ball head. Loosen this knob counter-clockwise to allow the entire head to rotate horizontally (pan) 360 degrees. This is useful for panoramic photography or adjusting your horizontal composition without changing the camera's tilt. Tighten the knob clockwise to lock the panning movement.

   The integrated bubble level helps ensure your camera is perfectly horizontal. Adjust your tripod legs or the ball head's tilt until the bubble is centered within the indicator lines, indicating a level horizon.
