Quick Setup Guide
Features
Setting up your tripod
1
Open the flip-lever leg locks on each leg.
Extend the leg sections from the top down
(thickest section first) to reach the height you
want.
Note
: Adjusting the thickest leg sections first gives your
tripod more stability and support.
2
Close the flip-lever leg locks to lock each leg at the
desired length.
Caution
: Securing a leg lock incorrectly can cause a leg to
retract unexpectedly and could result in damage to the tripod
or equipment mounted on the tripod.
3
Loosen the locking collar on the center column, then spread the
legs to the preset angle. Set the tripod on a firm surface. Tighten
the locking collar to stabilize your tripod.
4
Adjust the height of the center column by loosening the
elevation locking knob, turning the elevation crank until the
center column is at the height you want, then tightening the
knob. Turn the locking knob clockwise to lock the center column
in place.
5
Hold the quick-release plate locking lever open, then lift the
mounting plate to remove it.
6
Align the bottom of your camera or camcorder with the 1/4"
mounting screw and indexing pin (if necessary) on the plate,
then secure your camera or camcorder to the plate with the
screw. The screw should be tight. The indexing pin retracts if it is
not required.
7
Open the plate locking lever and slide the plate onto the tripod
head. Push the lever until it stops to secure the plate.
Using your tripod
1
To adjust vertical tilt, loosen the vertical tilt lock knob, rotate the
plate up to 90 degrees, then tighten the knob.
2
To adjust horizontal tilt, turn the horizontal tilt lock handle
counter-clockwise, tilt the tripod head, then tighten the handle.
3
To pan, turn the pan locking knob counter-clockwise, pan the
tripod head, then tighten to lock in place or continue panning.
Note
: For maximum stability, always make sure that your camera lens is
over a leg.
