Set Up your Spotting Scope
Remove the lens cap covering the Maksutov Correcting Lens by gently pulling it forward. The cap is held in place with a press fit.
Setting Up the Table Tripod
Your spotting scope comes with a table tripod to
support it for more stability when viewing. To
set up the tripod:
Spread each of the three tripod legs
outward until they come to a stop.
Make sure the tripod mounting platform is
level by loosening the altitude locking
knob and moving the platform to a level
position. Then, tighten the knob securely.
Place the bottom of the spotting scope on
top of the mounting platform where the
tripod mounting screw will thread into the
1/4x20 hole in the plate on the bottom of
the spotter. Secure the spotting scope by
tightening the screw firmly.
You can adjust the central column of the
tripod to the height you desire by
loosening the central column tightening
ring (turn it counterclockwise) with one
hand and holding the spotting scope in the
other hand. After raising or lowering the
central column to where you want it, then
tighten firmly the central column
tightening ring.
You have two slow motion controls – one
for vertical (up/down) and one for
horizontal (left/right) movements. The
slow motion controls can be helpful in
centering objects, especially at high
magnifications.
