Using your tripod
1
Open the flip-lever leg locks on
each leg and extend the legs
to the desired length. Open
the leg sections from the top
down (thickest section first) to
reach the desired height.
Adjusting the thickest leg
sections first gives your tripod
more stability and support.
2
Close the leg locks to lock each
leg at the selected length.
Caution
:
Securing a leg lock
incorrectly can cause a leg to
retract unexpectedly and could result in damage to the tripod or
equipment mounted on the tripod.
3
Loosen the locking collar on
the center column, then
spread the legs to the preset
angle. Set the tripod on a firm
surface. Tighten the locking
collar to stabilize your tripod.
(Close the tripod by loosening
the locking collar and pushing
in on any leg.)

column (

elevation locking knob (

turning the elevation crank (

desired height, then tightening the knob. Turn the locking collar
clockwise to lock the center column in place.

locking lever (

Align the bottom of your
camera or camcorder with the
1/4" mounting screw and
indexing pin (if necessary) on
