Tripod Set Up with
Extended Easel Leg
One of the significant advantages
of the AZ VORTEX design is the
“easel” leg that allows greater
flexibility than a conventional tripod.
By extending the length of the easel
leg, the A-frame legs can be rigged in
a more vertical position. This allows
the anchor points on the AZ VORTEX
head to be placed closer to an edge
or directly over an opening next to a
wall or other barrier as shown in
Figures 8
and
9
.
With the long easel leg, the
AZ VORTEX resists the tipping
force associated with equal-leg
tripods, but still must be
secured. The increased skidding
force on the feet must be taken
into account when anchoring the
feet or securing the legs.
