OPERATION

OPERATION

There are two ways to adjust 
the tripod for low-angle shots.

REVERSE THE CENTER COLUMN

Reversing the center column 
allows for mounting the camera 
upside down in order to get 
close to the ground or surface. 
To reverse the center column do 
the following:

3. Center Column Adjustment

4. Low-Angle Setup

The sliding center column can 
be used to adjust the height of 
the camera. Fully extending 
the center column after the legs 
have been fully extended will 
place the camera at the highest 
position possible with this 
tripod.

1. Turn the center locking knob 

counterclockwise.

2. Adjust the center column to 

the desired height.

3. Lock the column in place 

by turning the locking knob 
clockwise.

Note: 

Make sure the column is 

secure but do not overtighten to 
avoid damaging the tripod.
