Using your tripod
1. To adjust your camera to the portrait position, loosen the vertical tilt lock
knob, rotate the plate up to 90°, then tighten the knob.
2. To adjust horizontal tilt, turn the pan locking knob counter-clockwise, tilt
the tripod head as desired, then tighten the handle.
3. To pan, turn the pan locking knob counter-clockwise, pan the tripod head,
then tighten the knob to lock in place.
Note
: for maximum stability, always make sure that your camera lens is
over a leg.
4. To adjust the vertical tilt, loosen the vertical tilt handle, then use the
handle to adjust the vertical position. Tighten the vertical tilt handle.
Convert to a monopod
1. Loosen the center column locking screw, then remove the center column /
monopod leg (with the pan head).
2. With one hand, grab all the twist screw leg locks on the monopod leg and
twist them counter-clockwise to loosen them.
3. Extend the leg sections, starting with the thickest section, to the height
you want.
4. Twist each leg lock clockwise to tighten it.
Caution
: incorrectly securing a leg lock can cause the monopod leg to
retract unexpectedly, which may result in damage to the monopod or the
attached camera or camcorder.
