performance and appearance in top shape. Your tripod is built to last
through years of use with proper maintenance and care. Protect your
investment by following this guide to good maintenance practices.
»
Check SureGrip™ set screws for
proper tightness to ensure the Apex
accessory is secure. Use
1
⁄
8
” hex key
to make adjustments as necessary.
»
When exposing your tripod to mud or
saltwater, use a damp towel to wipe
down and dry the legs completely
before collapsing. Then, disassemble
and clean tripod per instructions on
page 9.
»
Leg bolts should be tight enough
to prevent legs from collapsing, but
loose enough to open with ease. Use
3
⁄
16
” hex key to make adjustments as
necessary.
»
Periodically apply multi-purpose lubricant to the threads of each leg joint.
However, never lubricate the carbon fiber legs.
»
Check for metal corrosion. Contact Really Right Stuff for any necessary
replacement parts.
»
Always keep your tripod in a protective bag when transporting or storing.
»
Always fully extend the lower leg section during use in sand or mud to
prevent contaminating leg joints.
