DJUSTMENTS

Adjusting the Pan Head 

The Summit SS-P features a 3-way pan head that allows you to 
quickly follow the action and easily adjust your viewing angle. For 
camera use, this head allows you to choose between horizontal and 
vertical plate alignments.

Pan and Tilt Action

You can control all of the pan and tilt action with just one hand. To 
make any horizontal or vertical adjustments, twist the handle counter-
clockwise to free the pan 
head’s movement. When in 
desired position, twist the 
handle clockwise to lock.

Caution

To prevent unnecessary damage to your optics, take a few seconds to 
remove your optic from the tripod before you move to a new location. 
Spotting scopes and other optics may become damaged if carried 
while attached to the tripod. The quick-release plate makes this 
easy—and quick!

TIP: 

Purchase additional quick-release plates for your optics so it is 

easy for you to switch equipment.
