1.
Find a suitable area to setup the Tripod. Check the ground under the tripod to make sure it is firm and level. Sloping ground
or an uneven surface (one leg section on a rock for example) can cause your tripod to tilt or shift as you climb.
2.
Tilt the stand upright by walking the legs upright from the platform down to the end of the legs. Have a third and fourth
person secure the top leg once it is low enough to reach.
NOTE:
The stand will be platform / top heavy.
3.
Once it is standing upright, insert a stake through the oval shaped hole at the bottom of each leg as shown in
figure 56.
4.
Push or hammer each spike completely into the ground at angle as shown in
figure 57.
5. Repeat for the other two stakes.
