Remove tripod from carry bag, undo clip on leg strap and
stand on a level surface (if possible). Depending on
surface, screw out rubber foot for non-scratch contact
to interior or hard surfaces or screw in for a spike on
exterior soft surfaces such as dirt or sand.
Note:
Leg angle adjusters are spring loaded and self
adjusting. Do not hold leg angle adjuster up while spreading
tripod legs as this may cause leg angle adjusters to operate
improperly and potentially damage the tripod.
Maximum Height
(Leg angle adjustment is not required)
1 Separate legs slightly so they are
parallel.
2 Working with each leg
individually, grip concentric locks
and release one turn (see leg
lock direction label on leg).
3 Extend to desired length and
turn each concentric lock to
engage firmly. Repeat process
for remaining legs.
4 Spread tripod legs (Fig. 2)
and adjust leg length to
ensure tripod bowl is
approximately level.
5 Level the fluid head using bubble level and ball
levelling feature of fluid head.
Minimum Height
Note:
It is recommended that
minimum height position is used only
with legs at their shortest length.
1 Pull up leg angle adjuster until it locks into a raised
position (Fig. 3). Repeat for all three locks.
2 Holding one leg on the ground pull the remaining two
outward, spreading the tripod to its lowest position. Leg
angle adjuster will automatically engage the leg to hold
the tripod at its lowest height position (Fig. 4).
