Adjusting the height of the camera platform enables you to balance your lens and camera on the vertical and horizontal axes to gain an even tilt, swing, and stability. The vertical rail for the camera platform also has a numbered scale for repeatable setups, so you don't have to figure out the balance point of a certain lens and camera combo every time you use it.
