Using the Tripod
Initial Set UP
To begin using the tripod, open the carrying bag using the zipper and pull the
tripod out of the protective plastic bag. The tripod is stored in the inverted position.
Invert each leg and adjust the center column.
Height Adjustment
Adjusting the height of the
Ravelli APGL5 Tripod can be done by
simply twisting the rubber knobs
located on the legs, clockwise to lock
or counter-clockwise to unlock. Then
extend the legs down to the desired
height, and relock the rubber knobs.
(Note: When adjusting height, try to
extend the thicker leg segment, as
they are thicker and provide greater
stability.)
If after you have fully
extended the legs, you have still not
reached the maximum operating
height, you may adjust the center
column up.
Quick Tip: You can unlock all segments on each leg at once by grabbing them at
the same time and then twisting counter clockwise to unlock. Extend the legs then
lock each knob. To quickly retract the legs when they are extended, unlock each
knob on one leg starting with the thicker portion of the leg, retract the leg then
tighten all knobs with one hand turning clockwise.
The Quick Release Plate
To remove the quick release plate, turn
the quick release knob counter clockwise until it
is fully rotated. Press the silver safety release
button, then gently slide the camera plate out.
To attach the camera to the quick release plate,
hold the camera securely in one hand, and locate
the 1/4” screw on bottom of the camera. Secure
the screw of the quick release plate onto the
camera by turning it clockwise. It is
recommended when mounting the camera onto
the tripod that the camera is parallel with the
Quick Release Plate.
