Hey Guys:

Just got a used Bogen 519 head. The orange spring is in the head and I have the blue spring in a baggie, but no owner's manual and I can't find one online. Which spring is which? I will be using it with a 14 lb JVC GY-HD110 rig with tripod plate adapter so I want to use the spring for bigger cameras.

If anyone with their manual could please tell me which color is for heavier cameras, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Never mind:

Just found online that blue is for up to 10 lbs and orange is for 10-20 lbs.

God Bless the Internet!
