Quick Release Platform
Move the Quick Release Locking Lever outward
until it stops and remove the Quick Release Plate
by lifting upward. The plate has a threaded ¼” x 20
camera mounting screw for camera attachment.
Position the plate so that the camera mounting
screw aligns with the matching receptacle on your
camera or camcorder and attach, using the
camera mounting screw. Move and hold open the
Quick Release Lock Lever and with the camera
tilted slightly down, slide the Quick Release Plate
back into position. After doing so, secure the
platform using the Quick Release Locking Lever by
pressing firmly until it stops.
Using the 3-Way Panhead
For panning and tilting, loosen the Pan and Tilt
Handle, by turning the handle counterclockwise.
Tilt the Panhead as desired and retighten by turning
clockwise or leave loose for panning.
To change the camera format from horizontal to
vertical, loosen the Vertical Lock Knob and
rotate the camera platform 90 degrees to the left to
its vertical position. Retighten the Vertical Tilt Lock
Knob.
Extending the 6601TM Tripod Legs
Each leg of the 6601TM has separate leg segments
and each segment may be withdrawn as needed.
This permits setting your equipment at a comfortable
height and can be very useful when positioning your
tripod on uneven terrain.
To deploy any leg extension, flip the Leg Lock Lever
outwards and gently pull on the leg to extend. To
secure, press the Leg Lock until it locks in place.
Not properly securing a Leg Lock may cause the
tripod leg to retract unexpectedly and result in
damage to your camera and tripod.

pod, twist the leg lock

ment to the desired

position, twist the leg
lock clockwise. Not
properly securing the
twist leg lock may
cause the monopod to
retract unexpectedly
and result in damage
to your camera and
monopod.
