Linhof beginer question - front tilt

[thomas_m]

I just took delivery of a nice Tech IV and everything is great except I can't seem to figure out the front tilt...

Facing the camera, I loosen the knob at the top left of the standard. I then push in the knob on the top right and I thought that should enable front tilt. However, mine still seems to be very rigid and I'm wary of trying to force it.

Am I missing a step somewhere?

Thx,

T.

Unlocking and pushing in is the key... otherwise I suspect you have a jam. Maybe gentle tapping and pressure, plus a little WD-40 drizzled down the channels?

I'm a dumbass... I got it. I just wasn't pushing in the knob quite hard enough to release the pin.

Thanks anyway!

It took me several days to figure it out myself... you are smarter because you had the guts to ask ;-)
