Note:
The tripod provides a stable platform
necessary for night sky viewing with the powerful
binoculars provided.
Setting up the Tripod
Spread the legs of the tripod as far as they will go
and lock them in place by tightening the brace
lock knob. Keep the legs at their shortest height,
for now. The Paragon-Plus tripod has a very wide
stance for enhanced stability. The widest stance
is achieved when the center brace arms are as
far down as they will go on the elevator shaft
housing. The brace lock knob should be
tightened to secure the stance. When using the
binocular mount, the tripod legs should always be
fully extended, otherwise the weight of the
binocular mount could cause the tripod to tip
over. Extend the elevator shaft only as much as
needed to get the binoculars to the proper
height.
