‘Pozi-Loc’ tripod leg clamp adjustment
Bedding-in occurs with ‘Pozi-Loc’ leg clamps, which may necessitate resetting the clamp. Check
the effectiveness of each leg clamp as follows:
Extend all three tripod legs fully and apply the clamp(s).
Position each leg in turn vertically on a set of weighing scales.
Gradually apply body weight to the leg until either or both clamps begin to slip. Note the
reading on the scales at which this occurs.
A reading of less than 35 kg (77 lb) will necessitate adjustment.
