OPERATION
When shooting in windy
condition or when using a
telephoto lens, the stability of
your camera is critical. A built-in
spring-loaded hook at the bottom
of the center column allows you to
hang a counterweight, such as a
sandbag (not included) or loaded
equipment bag (not included), to
provide increased stability.
5. Counterweight
2. Turn the center column locking
knob counterclockwise to
unlock the center column.
Remove the center column from
the tripod.
3. Using the smallest included
Allen wrench, loosen the Allen
screw located near the top of the
center column. When the Allen
screw is loosened, unscrew the
top part of the center column
and remove it from the column.
4. Put the main column aside.
Tighten the Allen screw with
the Allen wrench so that the
screw is flush with the surface
of the center column. Insert the
short column into the tripod.
Tighten the center column
locking knob securely.
Note:
Extending the center column
may leave the tripod less
stable.
