Attach Cross Bars to Legs 
 

 

 
Stand top collar and leg assembly up 

 spread each leg, out 

from the center, about one foot apart. 
 
Locate hole in 

(#5) upper leg

 25.125 inches from the bottom 

of leg 

(it’s the only hole toward the middle of the leg, but the 

orientation of this hole is crucial to the operation of the 
tripod.) Be sure that the middle hole is closer to the bottom 
of the leg than the top. This is where the support bar is 
attached. 
 
Attach 

(#3) cross bar

 to the leg assembly using 2-1/4

 long screw as follows: 

 

Note:

 Facing the assembly, the screw head should be on the right of leg (same side as 

shaped spacer). If screw is tight, going through the cross bar, simply use the provided 
hex L-Key to thread the screw through it. The powder coating is quite thick and 
tolerance levels are very close.
